Secondary, some cool slide shows, animated menu, like in flash tehnology.
What about Dojo, javaFX or Echo2 ? Could some of these tehnology can help
me ?
I saw that JavaFX is some script language, echo2 is framework based on java,
Dojo is Ajax and what about applet? Do you suggest me to study some of
these tehnology or to add just javascript ? Which solution is the most
smooth and most effective?
If the effects desired can be achieved using JS**, it would
definitely be the best option. (I am guessing*) All the
others would require a plug-in of some kind or other
(*I am not immediately familiar with Dojo or Echo2).
JavaFX is based around Swing, so that would come back
to applets, I suppose, or at least something that requires
the Java Plug-In.
Applets are inherently problematic, and becoming more so
by the month. For a stable, robust, easy access web site,
I wold tend to avoid using applets at all.
** The slideshows and animated menus are easily doable
in JS. Not sure about the text manipulation, check with
the JS gurus on comp.lang.javascript.
