There's really not too much here to search on, but maybe you can understand/decipher that east/west stuff.

var west = 12038859;

var x = function(callback) {
  if (window.addEventListener)
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", callback, false);
  else
    document.attachEvent("onreadystatechange", callback);
};

x(function() {
  document.getElementById('wsidchk').value = west + east;
  document.getElementById('wsidchk-form').submit();
});

Many professionals are seeing this with the increasing mess in web development products that has been made possible by the radical decoupling of components from more centralized processes (ie: ASP.NET WebForms), which may not have been the most efficient but were easier to learn, easier to compartmentalize, and made for better project estimates.

I have worked with quite a few Indian managers during my career, and though technically capable they are arrogant, and have little capability in big-picture strategies, relying on a just a "get it done" attitude while attempting to cut costs at the same time. This is also why you rarely see top quality and innovative software products coming out of India.

The time is coming where if Microsoft keeps on turning everything into varying levels of rocket science for its products, which is hardly required for what a lot of us need to do, another company will eventually move into Microsoft's declining space.

Still, I prefer using Windows to Linux. But if necessary, will make the switch when the time comes...
