The advantages are geared towards both the business-owner and the user: - lower bandwidth intensive/cheaper to host (probably not an issue for your particular client) and also faster-loading for the end user - easier to update/redesign in the future - more accessible (presumably, depending on what was replaced) - *perhaps* more search engine friendly (again, depends what was replaced) - forwards-compatible, browser-wise - available to a wider audience of browser-users What's not to like? :) Zeldman's book talks about each of these ideas at length. -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
