I also feel strongly that this direction holds the best long-term value. However, I don't believe that Dojo and YUI and others like it should just be ignored by Struts2 and others like it. In fact, the server-side frameworks should embrace and facilitate the combination, either with light integration interfaces, or simply with good documentation and examples that describes how to combine them effectively. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
