Good advice. I've had nothing but bad luck with Javascript, the
browser wars
still make it a browser sniffing nightmare, especially for anything
involving
complex mouse event tracking.

That's why I was thinking of Flash. Yes, it's true, not everybody has
it
installed. But Drag-and-drop forms and page editing is inherently a
password protected, administrative capability. So maybe it's not such
a bad thing: to require only the admin user to install Flash.

Gwt does a very good browser sniffing, javascript translation for you.
So, the more I think about it, it has to be GWT or Flash.
Roll your own javascript is too (because of browser wars)
exapserating.
You've ed straighten this out, for me.

I know Java and I don't know anything about flash. So I think I see
Tomcat and java servlets in my future.
