Re: Database using PHP+CSS+HTML UI: does it really work?

Hey Aaron, If at all possible, your life will be *much* easier if you can standardize to one browser platform. Compatibility issues between browsers can make debugging client-side code a real nightmare. Of the two major platforms, I personally think IE is the stronger (as much as it pains me to say that 8), but your mileage may vary. Beyond that, I think you can do some fairly complex stuff with a browser-based GUI. You are limited to some extent by the technology and widgets that are supported, but for standard stuff I think almost anything can be made to work. --- Ed Finkler --- Supervisor of Web Development --- Golden Dome Media --- http://www.goldendome.net --- coj@goldendome.net --- 219.631.1107 p. --- 219.631.1101 f. ----- Original Message ----- > At work, I'm helping to design an inventory system, and we're > thinking of using Oracle + PHP4 + CSS + HTML.
