Despite what you may have been led to believe, "Whatever" is not an adequate way of saying "I have such small understanding of my requirements that I just throw a few misunderstood technical terms into my question in the hope of getting a response."

Unlike General, where you can spout any old rubbish, Technical is normally used for questions that are either technically precise, or seek guidance on technical matters concerning which the questioner admits to not having a detailed understanding, but can nonetheless express their requirements clearly.

I'm glad I read through the responses before giving you a detailed response as to the technical limitations of creating charts in HTML - although the first question would, in any case, have been "What kind of charts?" There are lots...



Cue follow up from Bob Dickhead: "Whatever."

I realise I'm new here but surely we're not all IT Geeks in here. I am and thought it prudent to advise without berating someone for appearing not to be! Apologies if Bob has a history but still, we are grown ups aren't we?

Bob's not new and it does appear to be his "cool" reply of the month

I'd only used "Whatever" for your posts. Bit of fun, that's all. Will stop - your bleating is too much for a Friday morn.
