No doubt there were (are still are) some very highly unusable non-web applications out there. > And from there comes my preference for pure HTML-UI's without any > javascript Many people share this preference. There are some good reasons for it, but also some good arguments against not.

I would say this is very highly environment-specific. Going by my own experience, I would say that only about 10% of the webapps I deal with in my enterprise are as simple as you are talking about. Even then I'm not sure *any* of them are completely script-free. This would echo what my experience in other environment is as well. The requirements themselves are dictating this by the way, not just some developer wanting to do something cool. Part of that comes from business analysts that know fat-clients reasonably well and expect similar experiences on the web. We might argue they have the wrong mindset, but it is what it is. I happen to agree with them, but there is room for disagrement there. > Most user-requirements for "RIA" might be fulfilled by intensively > refactoring the UI's... for more simplicity.... Depending on the target audience this can be good advice. If you are trying to reach the largest audience then indeed you should be thinking simplicity... Anyone ever trying accessing a more "modern" site with a browser on a cell phone? Ugh! Assuming it works at all, which is doubtful, it is painful in the extreme to try and use it. If this is a possibility then I think what your saying is good advice Alexander. > regards > Alexander > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
