You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it
means.

<pedant>
You've said the "Java" word twice, but I don't think you meant it either
time. JavaScript has nothing to do with Java except the misleading
marketing trap that you've fallen in. I know it's often confusing to
people unfamiliar with the technologies (and that was exactly Netscape's
aim, so they share the blame), but it leads to confusion and doesn't help
solve your problem when you say it wrong.
