Did you forget that the page that hosts the FAQ ON THE BOTTOM OF EVERY
SINGLE MESSAGE ON THIS LIST has links to sites that have most of the code
that these lame newbie coders ask for? Now I'm not saying all newbie
coders are lame, I'm saying that there are a lot of lame newbie coders
wanting to be handfed without TAKING A FREAKING LOOK AT THE RESOURCES
easily available to them. It's not like these people didnt spend their
personal time and effort CREATING THESE DAMNED PAGES FOR NOTHING!!

RTFM, TTFC, STWRAFTF, TAQ. (Read the f'n manual, try the f'n code, search
