Re: how did we miss Echo?

It doesn't appear to be as 'spiffy' as netWindows, though. It uses a 
hidden frame for server communication and basically redraws the page for 
each action. I was dissappointed when table column sorting required a 
round-trip, when there are quite a few dhtml table sorting scripts easily 
available.

So it seems the JS interface capabilities are pretty thin.

Maybe you guys should meet with those guys and have the best of both 
worlds!
