> > Time has come to make http interactive! Say what? > This seems to come up from time to time. Also seems to die fairly quickly. I'm not sure what is being proposed in the current thread. 1. Interactive html? Interacting with what? User? Browser? Server? 2. Maybe interactive browsers? How so? Modifying content of html stuff in the browser? 3. "make http interactive"? Hmm... I'm busy reading a document when a (sic) server decides to interact with my browser. Under current protocols browser developers are free to make their products as interactive as they wish. Netscape will interact with the user while carrying on its communication activities in the background. Interactions can certainly be extended but they will also have to be explained and understood. Having a document that I'm reading unexplicably change as I'm reading would be most bothersome. Raising a flag to say "I'm obsolete" might not be a bother. The problem's not http or html, it's the human interaction. bob
