Hi, Bruce --
First, please discourage your clients from "copying" software interface en masse --
see the interface hall of shame (I forget the URL at the moment) for nice examples of
bad software interfaces.
Also -- please discourage them from JS or Java-only navigation -- this is "pushing the
envelope" technology -- that really does your end user a disservice. *Most* end users
are not super-users .... even the "technology market" likes choice. Plus, these two
technologies are not accessible unless you provide some kind of text alternative for
Lynx, old browsers and alterntive output devices (voice, for example).
Finally, many F500 companies have Java applets blocked by their firewalls for security
purposes. Likewise, ActiveX Controls.
