So yeah, depending on your requirements, you might find that using a lowest common denominator which will look or feel like crap on at least one platform is acceptable. As far as I am concerned, there is no such things as cross-platform GUIs :) << As a web developer it should be no surprise that i suggest the browser as the ultimate cross platform gui. Html4/dom4 is (finally) surprisingly consistant across, ie,moz,opera and safari and you can run/develop for moz on most platforms to further focus development. IMO, most business apps can be well supported and delivered to almost any platform. There are exceptions(visually intensive apps) but even those are increasingly supportable(via svg). salesforce.com is a comprehenive business app delivered via browser. zope.org is a biz/development app this is a trend whose momentum is just beginning to be felt,imo :pv __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
