Speaking for myself, Javascript allows me to script interactivity that is not possible with straight HTML: functions, variables, image management, etc. The biggest issue to deal with is consistent (or inconsistent as it were) support of the language across browsers/versions/platforms. I've built some fairly complex Javascripts myself and after wrestling with these issues, it seems to me that Flash is really the way to go: a self-contained environment that runs fairly consistently across most browsers/versions/platforms. Granted, Flash support may be absent on some platforms/browsers, but if your goal is absolute accessibility everywhere, you're pretty much limited to HTML images and text -- kind of like when the Web browser was first introduced. :-) Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.tactilemedia.com _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
