I don't think a lot of users would though, Java is clunky and slow
from what I have seen. You always know when it's loading, because
all the machines I've been on freeze for about a second whilst it
kicks in, unlike the relative seamlessness with the Real/Flash
plugins.
I quite like the stat-o-meter they have made on the BBC News
website, and the animations add a nice touch to it. How do the guts
it work though?
Switch to Ruby on Rails and AJAX over and above Java?
