But it's not always intelligible, even in really good browsers. My netflix account works for firefox, but the movie titles are almost unviewable in the text entry boxes. As for "their bad," don't be silly. Try telling your boss that the reason accounting can't access their data base with your program is because they have for-shit browsers. That's as lame as "works on my machine." The universality of web interfaces is a myth. Web interfaces can be very good, but: - state is kludged - performance is for-shit - simplicity is enforced by lack of tools - they ain't universal - the bulk of developers and all PHBs think 100% of the world uses IE -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
