To bring into stark relief how silly it is to use a browser with JavaScript disabled and Flash installed. [/quote] Well next time tell us what to expect, and yes the windows was blank first, for 10-15 seconds, then as it progressed the images loaded... then it got really ugly. On another note. I don't think that this is an issue whether flash or js is better than the other. Basic question as I saw it from the beginning was if Flash can do the things nessecary for a CMS admin interface. We all know that HTML + JS + CSS can do it, that's been proved tons of times, flash is just another tool. Personally I think that if you look at the admin interface from a products lifecycle with several iterations and mods/upgrades JS will probably cost more in effort over time than flash since it's not as automated to develop in js as in flash, js is generally more a craft than flash. Of course this is in both cases quite dependant on the skills of the person(s) tasked to maintain and evolve the interface. However, none of this matters if the interface is poorly designed from a users pow, or if it lacks important features, or if it's cluttered with cool but not needed things. That's what makes or breaks an admin interface, [b]not[/b] Flash or JS as the tool. /D [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/newSiggie.gif[/img] [/url] [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=260]{cell 260}[/url] [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/blog/]{Blog}[/url] -{ ?There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
