As you know, inc_code.asp is converted to inc_code.js, and inc_code.asp is left in the code for compatibility. The reason was to make use of .JS file caching...
On the other hand, in v4, we need to use the dynamic way as the text inside must be rendered dynamically. Here are our options:
- Revert back to ASP and do it as it is in v4b03.x, leave JS in english for compatibility
- Use ASP to create a bunch of JS variables that are to be used in rendering time, also convert ASP file to continue compatibility concerns
Any ideas?

You mean something like this: http://www.15seconds.com/issue/000811.htm ?
We have one more problem with caching... If the user switches the language will it be taken from the cache or re-generated?

Here's one way, similar to adding lots of JS variables to the main page, but slightly different.
On the main page, add a hidden form with lots of hidden input boxes containing all the prompt text.
e.g.
<form name="jsprompts" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="txtboldhelp" value="Bold Tag Makes the enclosed text bold.\n\nUSE: [b ]This is some bold text[/b]"></input>
<input type="hidden" name="txtboldprompt" value="Text to be made BOLD."></input>
</form>
Then modify the code in the inc_code.js (and asp version).
e.g
function bold() {
var text = getText();
if (helpstat) {
alert(document.jsprompts.txtboldhelp.value);
} else if (basic) {
AddTxt="[b ]" + text + "[/b]";
AddText(AddTxt);
} else {
if (text) {
txt=prompt(document.jsprompts.txtboldprompt.value,text);
} else {
txt=prompt(document.jsprompts.txtboldprompt.value,"Text");
}
if (txt!=null) {
AddTxt="[b ]"+txt+"[/b]";
AddText(AddTxt);
}
}
}
(NOTE: remove the space in all occurences of [b ])< |

3rd option:
- Have another lang file which just contains any text used in the js scripts and then include in the asp page: <script ... src="lang_nnn.js"></script>

No, there are will be problem with caching ...
It must be forced to reload js-file after changing language...< |

can't we just set it where no caching is available?
i.e. <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"> ?< |

In one case, we need caching, but from second case - don't...
Hmm....< |

The only other way (I can think of) of using caching & dynamic use in this case is to generate inc_codeNNNN.js files, but this is also out of question because then we need one more file to distribute in the language file.
Perhaps the easiest/best way is to generate the global JS variables in post.asp only... The JS file will be cached and it will be dynamic wrt the text it shows.
