I think it's rather: "a question for the developers: are you interested in helping with the development of KJS ?"

When Harri doesn't have time, KJS doesn't evolve much.
pmk fixes the JS<->DOM stuff, but it seems the crashes we get now (the buglist is full of them), rather come from KJS itself.

Different people, different interests, different challenges. KDE isn't a company, but a bunch of volunteers, remember ;)

Ok, well it's just that javascript kindof scares the hell out of me as I read certain mails on the lists talking about 20 different ways of implementing mouse overs etc etc :) I'll have a look at some of the code, it might even be understandable.

Ok, sorry David :) Let me just say that I'd rather see konqueror not crash all the time because of javascript issues instead of having ActiveX support. My friends keep nagging me about konqueror crashing all the time; now is that perfectly reasonable, were it not that I seem to be getting more reports of unstable konq's as the CVS revisions increase ! I know I should fix the bugs myself, but now I suddenly remember I originally replied to someone who said "konqueror is the best browser in the world".

I'll have a look at some of those javascript crashes now, see if I can make something out of them.

A tip:
Disable JS globally in Konqi. There are so many sites which have reasonable fall-back code.
One example is www.alternate.de.
If you enter this site of a German computer seller with JS on you cannot navigate their hardware list. If you try it with JS off, everything is fine. If you find a site where JS is a must have, enable it locally.

Bye

Thorsten
