New Re: You can get about 80% there.
We're doing it right now where I work. It's tough, real tough. So far, we're targetting IE5.5 (which we can do because we write Intranet applications) and my colleague has managed to build a quite good tabbed dialog box effect, but DOM support isn't quite advanced enough for NS6 or Opera to display it right. Sorry, I don't have a web site to point you to.

Would it be better to use applets or ActiveX controls, or would you just recommend sticking with client/server for now?

Thanks,
John

New Depends on your browser targets...
Personally I would always choose applets over ActiveX.

New I don't know about better...
Our server spits out HTML and JavaScript. Generally, JavaScript is powerful enough to do what we want, and if it's not, then we either don't do it that way, or we submit the page to a PHP script to do it. Development time is actually quite quick - more so if you have a framework building things like navigation bars (we wrote our own).

I wouldn't even consider ActiveX. We considered a Java applet for new email notification, but that A Ways Off.
