That voodoo aspect of Javascript is why I like it so much.  :)

I have been using JScript on IIS for the last 10 years.  I figured it
didn't make sense to use javascript on the client and vbscript on the
server, so I moved all server-side code to jscript.  In all that time
there was only one instance where jscript had an implementation
wrinkle that differed from javascript.  (something regex-related,
iirc)

We're moving new development into PHP on Apache.  I miss javascript on
the server.  I understand node.js might put me back in my comfort zone
but the intent is to get back into the herd.  (even mentioning
"classic ASP" either drives would-be newhires away, or attracts .NET
programmers looking to modernize old code)

btw, I'm happy to see traffic on this list.  I forgot I was subscribed.  :)
