Yes, in many cases you are right. For instance, Sprint PCS uses Struts and it is a public website. They have to cater to different browsers, people hitting the back button, etc. But, a lot of Struts development is being done in a closed corporate environment. My former employer had the direction that ALL of the company's applications (over 100 of them) had to be browser based. Out of the 100 applications that I have seen, nearly all of them take advantage of JavaScript to have a browser with no buttons, no navigation bars, etc. At that company, there was direct control over what was on the users desktop (IE 5.5). *I believe* that is what Craig is referring to as a 'web application'. -Blake __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
