How best to extend browser UI?

Hi - I have an intranet app that shows a complex 'time-sheet' to the user.
It works ok, but is constrained by the limits of the browser interface. If I
wanted to get 'fancy' and allow the user to do things like click-and-drag,
right-click for options, etc., etc. what are my options for providing this?

ActiveX? etc., etc?

Thanks for any guidance,

Paul.

ActiveX, Java applets, and Flash are the most popular.
