Any 'rich interface' that breaks my back and forward buttons is bad design. Any 'rich interface' that I can't bookmark and return to the same state (barring login issues, form submissions, etc) is bad design. So... no. I'm not a fan of Java/Flash, and in many cases AJAX. They break the functionality of my browser in rude ways. -- Matthew Walker Kydance Hosting & Consulting LAMP Specialist /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
