Today I spent the whole day coding in Javascript because the module I'm assigned have got 4 tabs and not to mentioned inside each tab it uses it's own IFRAME and there are a lot of buttons, validation and checking that needs to be performed. I think it's easier to do all this if we are using Applet or any language such as PowerBuilder or even (I hate myself for saying this) Visual Basic. I really appreciate the flexibility these languages gives us when designing UI.
Not to mention the time it takes for me to find bugs and error as the only debugging tools I can use is the built in debugger in IE. Once I complete the coding I felt that such a rush in my blood that I thought to myself that it's not bad at all, as a matter of fact it's very interesting. I have a new toy to play now, JavaScript. Once you get a hang of it, it's a powerful language on it's own. The browser that we are using is IE 5.5 and luckily it provides most of the thing that we need for the UI. The only thing that really surprises me is that there is no decent non-Microsoft Javascript debugger that is available, or maybe I'm missing on something here.
The DOM beast is a very powerful thing too, boy you can do a lot of thing with a "html" document once it's inside the browser, as a matter of fact you can transform a document into another kind of document just by scripting, got to find time to explore on this.
