There is nothing in your "explanation" that proves me wrong. No doubt you
use your own definition of similarity. Besides, I have referred to both ASP
and ASP .NET, and you have ignored that there is indeed JavaScript 2.0 which
implements several features of Netscape's ECMAScript Ed. 4 proposal,
although there is only a test implementation available (Epimetheus).

Epimetheus? It is gone 9 years ago after a few weeks of beta testing.
Maybe it's time to forget?

Unsurprisingly, you missed the point.

Note:
to not get lost in all these "...script":
JavaScript - refers to the client-side language used in Gecko
browsers.

I daresay no programming language is restricted to client-side application;
that certainly includes JavaScript or ECMAScript implementations in general.
JavaScript is Netscape's/Mozilla.org's ECMAScript implementation. And
JFTR: While the statement about Gecko-based browsers is correct, the reverse
is not true. JavaScript does not require a user agent that uses the Gecko
layout engine.

JScript - refers to the language trademark reserved by Microsoft

As stated in the FAQ, JScript is Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript.
JScript .NET is a commercial buzzword for JScript 7.0 (and above) which
requires the .NET framework.

Javascript - (small "s") refers to all set of _actual_ implementations
provided by current browsers as opposed to:

"Javascript" exists only in your imagination.

ECMAScript - that refers to language specifications issued by ECMA
International

The organization is called Ecma International since a while. That is to
emphasize it has abandoned its previous restriction to the European computer
manufacturers as its members and operation. That aside, the statement is
correct.

Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on
a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web,
when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another
computer, another word processor, or another network. -- Tim Berners-Lee

In the end that's what I did (sort of) by opening another window with a
querystring in it and using aspx to connect to a database to save the
querystring result.

I know a lot of people won't like what I did with www.orbisoft.com now --
when a new visitor leaves it asks them why...(only once). It has actually
been helpful to date. It only pops up once then an indefinite cookie stops
the JavaScript prompt from appearing again.

Thanks for the help.

I want to ask a visitor the reason they visited our website using

Var strReason = Prompt("Why did you visit?")

How can I store this in a text file or Access database?

TIA
