Of course you can run any language server side using a virtual machine an interpreter or even compiled code. You can use asp/jscript which is the microsoft implementation of ecmascript and it can run server side. But your question is : "Is it possible to run excute jquery on server side." The answer could be "yes" : Using any javascript interpreter, you can run the jquery.js file. But it will throw an error because it won't find the window object. Why is that ? Because jquery is a wonderful javascript library which give you the possibility to manipulate a web page DOM in the context of a browser (read client side). So the usage of jquery in a server side context is pointless. Maybe it would help if you describe what you want to do. You could start an instance of firefox (remote mode) on the server and you can control the borwser from your application. I would be interesting to know what you want to do exactly. -- Fabien Meghazi Website: http://www.amigrave.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
