There are a couple things to consider about those points: 1) all the modern/cool javascript libraries have easy to use interface widgets for many different UI elements. (http://extjs.com/, http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/) 2) the ability to skin form elements is slightly controversial ... i'm of two minds about it. On one hand, having standard form widgets improves usability because people always know how to use the same elements... on the other hand, windows form elements are ugly :) anyway, lots of cool stuff going on in the world of prototyping, and always an interesting discussion. I don't have much experience with Air or Expression Blend, but I might take a quick look just to see what you're all talking about :) -- Matt Nish-Lapidus work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.bibliocommons.com -- personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.nishlapidus.com ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
