What about next generation net enable browser-devices Their presentation layer is different and image contraints are also factors.
I like your point on display data based on what was passed. Maybe have a mechanism to call the xsl file based on device type and then display data regarding to what was passed. XLS --- -IE 6.0 [call IE_HomePage.xsl] -> [call IE_LoginPage.xsl] -> [call IE_DisplayUser.xsl] -PDA [call PDA_HomePage.xsl] -> [call PDA_LoginPage.xsl] -> [call PDA_DisplayUser.xsl] -WAP [call WAP_HomePage.xsl] -> [call WAP_LoginPage.xsl] -> [call WAP_DisplayUser.xsl] This may required more work but at least you separate your functions from the (device/browser)presentation layer and component(homepage, login page)presentation layers. This way once a new device comes out you'll code for that devices's medium. or a customized extranet-intranet browser that you developement team created with your business partners. You will be able to hit all mediums bascily. Maurice~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Hey Margaret, > Thanks for the response. I was, however, just wondering about >something that you kind of touched on.
