Dynamic website, client side...

[SimonBoris]

I am a Flash power user and since a couple of months, i try to re-create some methods,functions, small apps using javascript, html tags and css.

Actionscript (flash) is extremly identical to javascript, and i feel that javascript is powerfull enough to build dynamic website.

I find it very hard to get thing works on all platform and even if i do find a way to make it work, some of these are not good since they are not understood by search engine.

Is there a futur for website that are dynamic on client side... by that i mean that change of content, navigation etc.. without refreshing ?

Is there a future or i am just waisting my time ?

What you, web developpers, think ?
Thx

Personally, I think your wasting your time. However, the possibility is there.

If there was some type of standard engine for JavaScript, eg if every browser treated JavaScript in exactly the same way, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Furthermore, dynamic Web Pages must access data that resides on the server. Unless the client downloads the datawarehouse, you cant generate dynamic content.

I dont think there is a huge future in client-side development. Its use will not change and JavaScript will have no future competition.

Also, in the future, the word "download" will not even be used. We will be downloading at extremely large speeds. Sending data to the server and serving up fresh data will take about 0.001 seconds.
