It's XHTML, JavaScript and DHTML, and maybe IFRAMES, I think...

http://news.com.com/Will+AJAX+help+G...3-5621010.html

Anyway, it's going to significanly hurt Microsoft's Smart Client strategy as
now they can't say as much as they used to say in saying you should use
windows because of it's rich client interface because now you can do "rich
clients" on the web without Windows or .NET.

I mean how many windows apps can even do what Google Maps can do, relevant
feature for relevant feature? None that I know of. Notice how I said
"RELEVANT"

The only thing really left as a selling point for Smart Clients is
"disconnect ed data" and, heck, I know how do that on the web with DHTML and
a few common sense tricks when I am using my lap top and I am not connected
to anything...

There comes a time when you know you are not going to be able to work something out yourself, however hard you try. I have reached that moment. I have a master page and a slave page (or whatever one calls it) All I want to do is show a Google map on the slave page. The map that Google gives as an example when it gives you a key would be just fine. I have searched high and low for a means of doing this but all I could find

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
