[Mapserver-users] JavaScript vs MapScript for interface development...

[Palle Due Larsen]

It is my opinion that JavaScript is the solution that intrudes the least
on the user's browsing experience. If I want to copy something from a
WebPage with JavaScript onto the clipboard, I just do it. On a Flash
page or in an Applet I don't have that opportunity. The same goes for
searching on the page and viewing the source. Today we are in a
situation where the major browsers are pretty standards-compliant. It is
not very hard to make a JavaScript-driven site that runs both in IE5.5+
and netscape 6.0+. See http://vestamt.carlbro.dk as an example (for the
fortunate few who understand Danish).
