This may be off-topic in a CSS list. But the emperor's new HTML5 clothes (it seems to me) are web sockets.
Only Chrome supports them right now? Is that true? But all browsers will before long. And then the awkward XMLHttpRequest will be gone forever. Web application programming will suddenly be oh so much easier...so much more like real application programming--where you can call for data and expect to get it right now. That will blow the doors off the current web site status quo. Web sockets patched together with a drag and drop mechanism plus a 3D graphics library, could, for instance, mean Google Sketchup would no longer be a windows binary download. You could run it any HTML5 browser. -- /* Colin (Sandy) Pittendrigh >--oO0> */ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
