You know, when I first started working with web applications, it was a bit of a surprise to me also... Though that was all over in a couple minutes... if that... but my thinking is that it ought to cater to people who've been working with them for a while, as newbies aren't already accustomed to much of anything. Heck, the onTap framework has a whole library of XML tags that were invented originally to provide a syntax that would be familiar to developers who are accustomed to working with templated html (because the underlying API was foreign to them). In retrospect I'm more fond of the xhtml syntax myself now because it provides some features beyond the function libraries which could only be created because the syntax offers some additional context not available to the underlying API - automated form validation (matching database meta-data) as an example. s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477&DE=1 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569&DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
