>What we have here is a failure to communicate. I'm out. Please don't be like that. I enjoyed lurking the browser thread discussion very much. I went wrong when people (Whoever) tried to explain that massive apps could not be carried by a browser interface. Although the thread went from the lack of support of modern (read:XML) technologies in IE to browser use in Enterprise size Apps, it has still allot of relevance. But let's indeed talk about user interfaces and not (for example) Transact-SQL, the two are simply a few tiers too far away from each other. I think the point Len tried to make is (&& If Wrong = True Then Correct(Me)) that browsers can cupport some ... but not the whole of an Enterprise app. What is the answer then ? Thin-Client ? Part desktop app and part browser ? And when ? Gerben. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Prescod [mailto:paul@p...] Sent: 18 October 2002 17:21 To: Bullard, Claude L (Len); xml-dev@l...

I'm talking about URL-addressable, cross-platform, portal-integrated, zero-install user interfaces and you are comparing JavaScript to Oracle. What we have here is a failure to communicate. I'm out.
