This newsgroup "microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.jscript" covers two
issues:
- JScript in ASP.NET server;
- J(ava)script in the browser/client
The issues are very different.
The first one concerns just JScript.NET, the second concerns also
non-Microsoft implementations.

There is also another newsgroup: "microsoft.public.scripting.jscript".
Would it not be useful to restrict the "dotnet" newsgroup to
primarily-server issues, and reserve the "scripting" newsgroup to client
issues?

Peter,

I believe the actual intention when this group was created was that it would
cover JScript.NET language issues across the board, client or serverside,
since there are separate ASP groups. Your point is still good - actual
non-.NET JScript issues should be in the scripting newsgroup, not in this
one. :)
