Hi,   It's only my suggestion,   Applets can run only in Browser, and it is also very slow, if U use applets, U can write applet - servlet communication. U can write applet - application communication, to process U'r request.   Servlets run on the web server and the request to servlets is an HTTP request. which can render any type of document, eg HTML, WML etc.   U cannot generate dynamic pages using applets.   Javascript is a script language, which can be embedded in an HTML page, U should use it for basic validation, and controlling the events of the user interface.   XML is Extensible markup language, by which U will be able to define objects on the server as well as client which would do the needful, but as of now it is still in development stage and the browsers does not support all the features of XML, I have not investigated this for quite some time, U can find more in  www.w3c.org for HTML specification, www.xml.org for XML specification.   I would suggest at present U go for javascripts embedded in HTML and on the server side use servlets. If U need docs on Javascript U can get in www.netscape.com, for servlets, U can find a servlet engine tomcat3.0 from www.apache.org ( click on jakarta project ).   I hope this would help U. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sushant Kotian To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2000 03:11 Dear all,   I have plans to develop an E-commerce application using Java very soon.

Can we generate dynamic pages using Applets ?   What is XML? what are the advantages over HTML?   Sir, please reply and help me to improve my knowledge cause presently i am in a confused state.   Thanks and Regards Sushant K.
