Plugins that aren't installed on users' desktops are as useful to a web developer as food sitting on an Albertson's shelf in Arizona is to a starving person in Kashmir. Frankly I'm being generous. There's only one plugin that's even close to useful, and that's closed source for one browser on one platform. Until recently it was payware on top of that. AJAX succeeded because it already worked in users' browsers without any extra effort on their part. If XForms ever reaches that level of availability, then it might be useful. Until then it's relegated to the intranet at best, and usually not even that. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
