Javascript-Browser question

Ok, so, this godaddy hosting plan says it doesn't support javascript my questions is:

I thought javascript was something interpereted by the browser, and is client side - so does the hosting matter? So does this simply mean that its not supported by their crap tech crew(whom don't even know what php is)?


Thanks!

I have some basic javascript on my el-cheapo economy hosting plan with them, and it works just fine...

No. I think it means their marketing blurb is written by some MBA moron, who doesn't know what he's talking about. Occam's Razor.

Javascript is interpreted client-side. Might be some other reason why they meant they don't support it... dunno.

They don't know what PHP is? You chose this company, why?

Thanks,

Cause its cheap and good features otherwise, $4.00(abut 2 euros) a month w/ 5 mysql DBs and lots of bandwidth(300g).

I called them about svn, they didn't even know what it was, so they spent 20 minutes looking it up online :\


Oh well, maybe i'll switch some day.

is it possible that they mean java server pages?

I don't know what a java server page is.

But as long as I can use normal JS in html/php files and include .js files in html/php files, and its fully functioning, I couldn't care less.

Can features javascript be turned off by the hoster? And what is a java server page?

I've successfuly written and tested (on this hosting) a script that has an image follow the mouse.

Thanks!

Technically yes. Doing it would involve on-the-fly rewriting of the page tho' so chances they'd want to are close to 0.

A Java Server Page is a special type of HTML page, served by a J2EE application server (like Apache Tomcat or JBoss). It serves the same purpose as an Active Server Page or PHP script, but is more elegant in it's design.
