I've no idea whether such a protocol exists today; however, the current set of browsers don't appear to support such a beast. It might be a good solution 5 years down the line, once all the old browsers that don't support it have fallen out of use, but even if the protocol's ready to go now the installed browser base isn't ready for a site that uses it. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
