Rob, What I meant is that there is still a lot of ignorance regarding complex web interfaces. People make the mistake if they see Ajax as "just do it". It involves much more because the largest browser today, does not function according to standards, but also requires attention on several points when you work with large interfaces.
It also requires you to think about ui architecture, working with layers, how to communicatie between them, what functions do work on elements and what not, what are the differences between browsers, rendering, support. What browser support method a, method b etc.. When you are working with a small part, you don't have to really think this all through. It is just a part on the webpage which is Ajax enabled. When you look at for example Gmail, the entire application runs on an Ajax layer. Then it gets seriously complex, and then you really need experts like Google has. I hope a lot of people will do Ajax, I think it is an amazing new step in the web. But I only warn people, not too make promises too quickly, because many people underestimate the complexity. Was that more subtile? :P Micha Schopman Project Manager Modern Media, Databankweg 12 M, 3821 AL Amersfoort Tel 033-4535377, Fax 033-4535388 KvK Amersfoort 39081679, Rabo 39.48.05.380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Modern Media, Making You Interact Smarter.

I am sorry, but your comment seems like you are saying people are stupid, and I don't think thats a very nice (or correct) thing to say. I could just be reading that wrong though. -- ~Blog~ http://www.robrohan.com ~The cfml plug-in for eclipse~ http://cfeclipse.tigris.org ~open source xslt IDE~ http://treebeard.sourceforge.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:199300 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
