Prev: It will be nice if javascript function can be interrupted and re-entered at latter time
Next: change style value for several elements

Node.js again? I am possibly very dense, but I don't understand what the fuzz is all about. Node.js is receiving a very enthusiastic welcome everywhere. Look at http://nodejs.org/api.html : It is just another serverside language. I don't see anything that makes it very special so far. Don't get me wrong, I make a living coding serverside, but what makes this node.js so special? It all sounds like a hype to me, but I haven't used it yet. What do the good people in here think about node.js? Regards, Erwin Moller -- "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." -- C.A.R. Hoare

Nothing special, it looks great to people who know only javascript so it makes sense to them.
