feeling that I’m going to
need to download some more browsers. I was looking around at web sites
using the different browsers and I was amazed at how many things work
in IE but
do not work in FireFox. Some things work the other way around, and
some
things don’t work in either! Amazing! I never really had much
faith in standards and much less now. What a pain.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

This is one of the reasons I'm a bit hesitant to start using anything
that has DHTML being generated behind your back in the browsers DOM
care of some Javascript code.. My first whack at a site used DHTML all
over the place and it was a nightmare to keep going since things would
break whenever someone patched IE (I wrote this PHP app about 3-4 years
ago). My next incarnation uses no DHTML and obviously does not suffer
any of the side effects.. However, I'm finding the lure of SeasideAsync
interesting enough to put my feet back in the water again and may
mandate that people use at least IE6 or Firefox as the main browsers
and will have to ensure that everything is thoroughly tested before
unleashing the public on my (next incarnation of the) new site.. I'm
hoping that most of the problem I had with my JS & DHTML code were
due to perhaps poor browser detection/workarounds and that sort of
thing -- and that SeasideAsync does a much better job. As to whether
or not anyone is using it in a production environment, I'd be
interested in hearing about any issues they've run across -- if any.<br>
