Those of us in the financial World are running out of options for rich client side Web-based clients for representing complex market data/real-time info......page refreshes and Iframes don't cut it. I don't want to force Flash, or java applets on anybody, but what else our our options? Enabling Active X controls in our end-users browsers? Ouch. These browsers are reaching critical mass with the end-user feature set (pop-up blocking, tabs, modifiable chromes), the market needs new standards for developers, otherwise everyone is going to be creating proprietary javascript APIs to emulate these needed behaviors. I don't want my Web developers to be supporting that kind of scenario. Frank Krul
