Cross browser!

These days there are a numerous number of dynamic and elegantly designed applications on the web. They run on various platforms, some on newly introduced ones like Silverlight, and others on the most commonly used Flash. These applications could be dynamic and highly user-friendly, but they may cause a difficulty to users with older versions of browsers, slow internet connections and limited connectivity. The plugins required to be installed on the browser sometimes could be of large size and could take time to install. They may require a considerable amount of time to load the application data, making the user interface slow for users with slow internet connections. Some plugins do not work on all platforms, for example Silverlight does not work on linux and unix platfroms. Older versions of the browser may not support some plugins,
making it tough time for the user.

Thus, if applications running on different platfroms are placed on a website, they must be provided with an alternative for low priviledged users. This can be done through modern
methods, like the usage of Ajax to speed up requests, and DHTML and javascript tricks for an elegant style of the application. If an aplication is purely made of any of the above then it can function on any modern browser i.e Firefox 2.0+, IE 5.0+, NS 4.0 +, Opera 7 + , Google Chrome.

If the alternative is provided, then the area of access to users can be increased at a high rate!
