Totally - Pongo (or something like that) was doing it with hidden frames and wddx I think for quite some time. The people who run Neuromancer in one of the commercial app just told me it was ok to say it was there and provide a link. The app is like Dell for Cloths, you pick out options and provide body profile questions, and then in the end you get a custom made article of clothing. When you are answering the questions, some selections disable others and there is some validation going on behind the scenes. This is not a "wow" example, but Neuromancers is used quite extensively (if you have the firefox Live HTTP Headers plug-in installed turn it on :-D) They did a soft launch with Tommy Hilfiger (advertising to come out shortly) http://shop.tommy.com/shop?dsp=804&pcr=804&R=1366 When you get to the questions part thats when it kicks in. BTW I tried to convince them to use Flex, but they said it was too expensive :-/ -- ~Blog~ http://www.robrohan.com ~The cfml plug-in for eclipse~ http://cfeclipse.tigris.org ~open source xslt IDE~ http://treebeard.sourceforge.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
