I also see Java as a way to prototype new browser features, like file upload. Once the prototype serves its purpose, though, the feature should be hard-coded into browsers. There are useful file upload apps (the TCE Corporate Technical Memory being one) where local directory restrictions on files would not be a problem, so Java would be an appropriate prototyping tool. Maybe it is my own myopic viewpoint, but file upload seems to be one of just a small handful of WWW browser features that have a very high benefit/cost ratio that have not been implemented. Unicode support (admittedly significantly higher cost) seems to be the other... ====================================================================== Mark Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN
