Anyway applets still suffer from basic load time, while a dhtml/ajax/javascript/whichnameyouprefer application can (but not always do) display at least something while the .js files are still loading. Good examples are many Google apps that display the complete layout even if they are still loading in the background, giving the user the feeling that everything loaded quickly, while it is still loading in the background. I'm pretty sure this can be achieved with applets as well. > >> Given that the core of your client side appears to be a Java Applet, you >> might wish to know that I have been to your site and been running the demos >> under Firefox 3 with Sun's newly released 64-bit Java plugin for linux. >> > > Hopefully the experience was positive?
