(at least for me)
// It seems that even for selection of type "None",
// there _is_ a parent element and it's value is not
// only correct, but very important to us. MSIE is
// certainly the buggiest browser in the world and I
// wonder, God, how can Earth stand it?Source: htmlArea.js[^]

Next to "gotten", it seems most native English speaking adults have yet to grasp the difference between "its" and "it's". Isn't this taught in like... 3rd grade!? /ravi

Unfortunately not any more. Education these days is more an experience that must be felt deep in the psyche, at the end of which everyone gets lots of A*'s and goes off to University to drink and have fun. Teach them to spell? Life is far too short ...

Actually, if you read Jane Austen (written early 1800's) you'll find she mixes up it's, its, her's and so on. The present day apostrophe-for-ownership conventions are merely that. Not to say I like it much when they are ignored in such cavalier fashion, but at least one can say there's precedent.
