Using the web as a conduit for applets (Swing apps) defeats the purpose of the web's "thin-client" design. ;) If you want a web-based app, aim for thin technologies -- that is, server-side computations and resources -- and you can save yourself some headaches. : I find too many : unexpected browser peculiarities when trying to do anything too : complicated (probably just me, but...) and would like to use something : more definitively controlled (or more predictable in operation). All my : users will be using MS Internet Explorer, typically v5.5. If you have control over the deployment environment then you can go whole-hog with browser-specific markup and javascript. Many companies do this internally and it simplifies testing, deployment, etc. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
