Is Palm standards-compliant? Last that I heard of it it had terrible Hebrew problems. > sticking to standards means it will work on older browsers as well (MSIE > 4 and 5 anyone?) Which standards do you mean? Clean HTML4? Sure. DHTML based on W3C DOM is standards-compliant, but will never work on MSIE 4. > less code means less chance of security holes, easier debugging and > overall better speed for the users Ah, your advocacy is for a *simpler* site, not a *standard* site. These two things are different. Do we want to put the effort in convincing the man to give up his gadgets and toys? If we stick to standardisation, we can tell him that everything he has, he can still have, only with W3C DOM, Java instead of ActiveX, whatever. If we require simplicity and stark naked HTML, he may actually have many users who will moan about the "nice toys" that are gone. Maybe even some bad publicity in the press, where a blockhead who happens to write an Internet column will mention "Bank Leumi has gone several years backwards in its new version of the site. Hello, technology has advanced since 1995!".
