J Per NEC, can romex wiring be run across the faces of ceiling joists (staple

J to the faces) if a suspended ceiling will be installed? (or do I have to
J run between joists and drill through as needed?)

Didn't see any responses as of my replying. I believe the correct
answer is wiring goes through holes regardless of suspended ceiling or
not. I think this goes for communications and low-voltage wire also.
(I got a ding on my wiring because of surface attachment when the
electrician updated the service panel for the addition here,
otherwise he and the city inspector were happy.)

NO, you cannot staple perpendicular to joists.
