So, to echo a thread I have going on community... With frameworks, and modular code, etc., etc., you could easily generate targeted output formats for your data, be it wrapped in Flash or just Plain Text.
So long as your forms degrade nice, you can even use the same HTML but without the javascript, etc., for low-bandwidth/non js-ers. But, is that even wanted? Do people want to experience "The Web" as it's "supposed to be" so bad they would (for a lack of better phraseology) "rather wait" ? Basically what I'm wondering is why the focus on making one medium be all things to all people vs. having various mediums (medium is not the right word) available, for the various populations you are serving? Is content negotiation so hit and miss that it doesn't really work as cool as it should? Why bother with "mark up" style data if we don't utilize the fact that it's marked up to serve it out however it's needed? <random rhetorical aside (disregard)> How come so much CF uses .cfm, when there's a ton that could be written to plain html, sparing CF cycles? Cache takes care of it? </random rhetorical aside (disregard)> Just some random (if you can call them) thoughts... =] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:281380 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
