Hello,
the language I use for solve problems is javascript (or jscript, it's the same...) in html files
(and it force me to optimise my code, because it is relatively slow, and number capacity is limited... :) )
Can you add javascript to the languages list please ?

(Perhaps I will can post again, if I solve a problem with a not closed thread ...)

ok I've seen the answer:
I'm wrong, you call it ecmascript ... :?
but google find more than 1300000 pages for '<script type=”text/javascript” '
and less 5000 for '<script type=”text/ecmascript” '...

javascript is called ECMA script as far as I know.

ECMAScript is a scripting language standard that has a number of dialects: Javascript, JScript, and ActionScript; although there are variations in some of the sub-libraries available in each they all adhere to the ECMA-262 specification (currently edition 4) in terms of their syntax and structure. The name is linked to the European Computer Manufacturers Association, but because it is now international organisation it refers to itself as Ecma International (the acronym is now redundant). They are responsible for a number of standards ranging from CD ROM file structure to the C/C++/C# programming languages, and, of course, ECMAScript.
