Tricks You Can't Do
with JavaScript 

Please note the difference between Java and JavaScript. It's like tomatoes and green olives. It's not the same, but both are trademarks.

Tricks you can't do with client-side JavaScript 1.1. Some of them will be possible with the new version of JavaScript, most of them are possible with java or cgi.

  • read or write random text files on the local disk or on the server

  • invoke automatic printing of the current document

  • control browser e-mail, news reader, or bookmark windows and menus

  • access or modify browser preferences settings

  • capture a visitor's e-mail address or IP address

  • quietly send an e-mail when a visitor loads a page

  • launch client processes (e.g.,Unix sendmail,Win apps,Mac scripts)

  • capture individual keystrokes

  • change a document's background .gif after the page has loaded

  • change the current browser window size, location, or options

  • get rid of that dumb "JavaScript Alert:" line in alert dialogs
