RE: Net.Data and javascript -- MIDRANGE-L

Yep, that's what I meant.  Thanks for expressing it better than I.  I don't
use Net.Data that often so I wasn't sure of the exact syntax.  :)

As for performance, Javascript tends to be quite speedy because it's client
side and takes the processing power off the server.  Every time I write a
"fairly complex" javascript routine and expect it to perform terribly, I am
surprised to see that it runs VERY fast (no noticable lag).
