I am trying to write an interactive image which presents search

interactivion with images.

Do you mean as in 'Java applets embedded
in a web page?'.

I mean either an applet or a servlet, but via the WWW.

Servlets are server side - applets are client side - for all
practical purposes they can not replace each other.

This is a fine distinction (applet and servlet). My question is only -
Do so many people use Java for interactive images because it has
features not available in C#?

My impression is that Flash would be most used for this with Java
applets at a second place.

And C# is not an option because .NET is not installed on all systems
and not available at all for some systems.


My understanding is that .NET only needs to be installed on the
server, so where is the issue with not all systems having .NET?


Not true if you are you are looking for client side technology
as Java applets.

(but oviously HTML generated by ASP.NET does not require .NET
client side)
