Hi Len, Namaste to you too! You seem to know Hindi (which is India's national language). I live in India, near Delhi at a place called Gurgaon, where hard core Hindi is spoken :) I like HTML a lot! Its simplicity and logical vocabulary helps me write any complex HTML page I wish! I first used HTML in 1997. So its 8 years now, and almost an emotional connection with HTML. Later I wrote JavaScript very much and enjoyed this programming paradigm. I am not sure, but I think I discovered a piece of JavaScript code few years back to submit an HTML form via HTTP POST method.. My manager in my first organization (He is CTO of accellion.com and a wonderful person) wanted me to find a way, and I did so! I learnt all web based skills there. I also wrote a rudimentary multithreaded web server in Java. Just last week I wrote a XML streaming over Java Sockets (in a multithreaded environment) application.. So programming is my passion, and gives me lot of satisfaction.. Have a nice day Len :) Regards, Mukul --- "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <len.bullard@i...> wrote: > Namaste, Mukul ji. > > I'm a fast typist, but otherwise, only a philosopher > and clown. > > HTML is structured by definition.
