Then what results is exactly what you say: a WEB UI. This was good enough five years ago, it isn't today. People expect, generally, more robust UIs delivered in a browser. They expect webapps that look, feel and work more like fat clients. This is all a virtual impossibility without some dergee of scripting. There are of course cases where this doesn't natter... sometimes the simplistic Google front page approach is perfect. But you'll pretty quickly run up against some serious roadblocks to developing anything other than "classic" web UIs without scripting. Your point is well-taken... scripting does indeed entail some level of danger... but so does driving a car, and we all do that without much thought :) (which is of course part of the problem with driving today, but I digress...) -----Original Message----- Maybe I'm to old (in respect to IT-technology), but for me most of those highly sophisticated apps (be them client or web) are not very usable... I prefer a simple processing scheme. And from there comes my preference for pure HTML-UI's without any javascript If it MUST be more, then something like Canoo's ULC <http://www.canoo.com/ulc/index.html> is a possible way to go... but that's (according to my assessment of normal business apps) about 0.001% of all web-applications... Most user-requirements for "RIA" might be fulfilled by intensively refactoring the UI's... for more simplicity.... regards Alexander --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
