How many spinning, flaming Java applet logos were there in the 90s?<BR/><BR/>I also think that people will be hesitant to adopt another MSFT web "standard", for fear of some obscure dependency on IE. Remember what MSFT did to Java?<BR/><BR/>HTML is simply too common to be quickly or completely replaced, at least in the next several years. <BR/><BR/>- Scott -Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187435106015051061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449039.post-2226826187080054152007-11-16T05:42:00.000-05:002007-11-16T05:42:00.000-05:00Not you Scott ;) my comment was for the first "Ano...Not you Scott ;) my comment was for the first "Anonymous" commenter.Carl Backstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017816632779478810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449039.post-13970958933592442702007-11-16T05:40:00.000-05:002007-11-16T05:40:00.000-05:00>>AJAX's days are numbered.

Sooner or later, something like Adobe's Flex or Microsoft's Silverlight are going to become the norm for creating web-based applications.<BR/><BR/>Although HTML was never intended to be used for data entry, the browser makers and organizations like W3C have sat idle for far too long by not introducing native HTML widgets that would have filled the large gap that AJAX components now fill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
