Here is an app that demands javascript. http://www.zillow.com/
It is IMHO a pretty impressive piece of work. I suppose one might do it without javascript (HTML, CSS and image maps?) but I doubt you could make it as easy to use or do a better job of providing access to the data. My own opinion is that once good AJAX toolkits are established and have had a chance to mature that this will become a preferred method of implementation for many apps. Existing toolkit examples are: SAJAX http://www.modernmethod.com/sajax/ ZIMBRA http://www.zimbra.com/community/ajaxtk_download.html DOJO http://dojotoolkit.org/ ATLAS http://atlas.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabid=47 Using a REST architecture with AJAX to build a responsive front end has some real legs. The vast majority of people are going to like apps like zillow.com and so the security people will just have to catch up.
