page did not work in Firefox, though it did in IE. Client side scripting has a
lot of drawbacks, browser dependency is only one of them. Flexibility and
security are big issues too. I'm agreed that flash is the best option for 3d and
animation generally though it's got a steep cost in both monitary terms and the
learning curve.

generally, though, I wonder if we could be seeing the beginning of the demise of
the browser as we know it? Right now the paradigm of browser plugins is the
dominant mechanism for extending presentation, but there's no reason to think
this will always be the case.
All
the Best,

Subject: Re: [backstage] 3D?www.htmlguru.com is your friend here. Specifically, http://www.htmlguru.com/content/webpages/guru/guru.htmlVery elderly site, but still very nice looking. (Although given that it's (c) 1998, don't expect it to work in Firefox / Mozilla based browsers.)However, if you want to work with 3d on the client side, Flash is still your best bet. I know you say you don't want to have to work with plugins, but it's installed on (something like) 98.7% of machines.Cheers,Rich.

Has anyone seen any good 3D scenes done in CSS/DHTML?
I'm thinking up a news visualisation (with a very abstract/arty
direction) trying to use client side technologies but no plugins and
minimum image files (if any).
I am very sleepy. Sorry if this doesn't make sense.
Thanks & Bye.
