This is a prime example of the need for the right programmers. 'scuse me for the correction, but this is in my element. That bancusa link you posted showed a very slick Flash animation. Flash is more a graphical tool than "programming" (roots in Mac-land). The BID.COM programmers are doing just fine with their database backend stuff, client and server-side scripts. There is NOTHING wrong with the technical expertise they have in those areas. With all due respect I suspect you meant to say that they need more visual sizzle on their site, when compared to such a visual site as bancusa. The downside of course is the potential of browser compatibility problems and lethargic page load times, neither of which are good for a consumer-oriented site. Perhaps that's not a price they're prepared to pay. Brian
