For fast internet users and users of the latest browsers it seems to be a very good idea (my case
being both) however not all people use high speed internet, or newer browsers. I believe what you
are talking about is dynamic HTML, and the only browsers that support it are Netscape 4.0+ and
IE4+... Many people are still using versions 2 and 3 of these products. A few people also use
Lynx, a text based browser for Unix command line systems, which does not (as far as i know)
support this. A suggestion can be to create two versions of a web page, for the newer and the
older browsers. (i.e. a text only option at the start or something like that)
