agreed, except for drag and drop, menus and such boring stuff. imho they
are not a part of the web. perhaps there's lots of use for this stuff on
intranets where everybody have certain browser. i've seen some menu stuff
done with javascript and mostly they work poorly - from usability side and
compatibility side. for example www.yle.fi. the drop javascript menu just
disappears every now and then when tryin to select something from it. and
it's difficult to find as there is no indicator that there is this
menu. user can find it only if user occasionally places mouse on the right
place. bad design.
