[AccessD] Burn-out

Hi Shamil:

I was thinking of creating a blog site and have been watching Arthur's
progress with some interest. (Initially thought about building my own but
fortunately that thought passed) Now that I have supposedly retired, I am
suppose to have all sorts of time?...hardly...but soon I will be able to
start posting some experiences...but now is tax form season. :-( 

Jim

Hi Jim --

Thank you for your reference to the new JavaScript standard extensions brief
description.

As for your "pseudo ASP.NET" it would be interesting to know a bit more how
you do it - maybe you can find time to write about this technique in dba-VB,
just briefly, without excessive details but more than you outlined here?...

JavaScript and WinPhone 7:  yes, it could happen that the first (sample)
application/web site I will develop for WinPhone7  will be a jQuery Mobile
one (http://jquerymobile.com/) - at least I have already read all the jQuery
manuals using WinPhone 7, and it was a rather comfortable reading. Now, I
have to find how to handle jQuery Mobile forms, fill them with data, store
edited data to the backend db (via web service?) etc...

Thank you.
