Most of the sites we develop are still fully compatible down to Netscape 3.0; If we really need cool animations and client-side interactivity and all that we just use Flash and/or basic Javascript and there's basically no limit to what you can do. Java Applets still really suck for the most part due to the pi$$-poor browser implementations (esp. where Microsoft's deliberate sabotage of that medium is concerned). And M$DHTML be damned too. There doesn't really seem to be any justifiable reason to develop bleeding-edge tech on the client-side when dealing with the general internet audience anyways. I like being able to count on a web-page not crashing my system just because somebody wants to animate layers all over the place just because they can.
Besides, screw Netscape; Mozilla.org is picking up the slack pretty well. I wonder if Apple will ever make their own web browser, the "iSurf" or whatever... brendan avery 2.0 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 310.779.2211 - santa monica, california > -----Original Message----- > From: Greenwood, Erin E.
