<DD>&quot;I can do it with JAVA much faster (know it better than javascript and php). But I am afraid of browser incompatibility, security options for applets and similar things.&quot;


  		




  2470
  
  
    

  		




  2471
  
  
    
&quot;While Applets are ridiculously out of fashion, that does not matter to end users. On a modern machine, JVM startup time is not a problem, and *browser incompatibility less of a factor than with JavaScript*.&quot; [+emph]


  		




  2472
  
  
    

  		




  2473
  
  
    
&quot;Applet-specific security is irrelevant as long as you only draw stuff and don&#39;t want to do things like access the user&#39;s harddisk.&quot; (but you can use a desktop app to get around that)


  		




  2474
  
  
    

  		




  2475
  
  
    
&quot;they don&#39;t run in all browsers&quot; which ones?


  		




  2476
  
  
    

  		




  2477
  
  
    
&quot;Libraries like JQuery and ext_js make gui development as structured as java&quot; but without the all-important type safety


  		




  2478
  
  
    

  		




  2479
  
  
    
&quot;Applets [...] require client installs of java&quot; but most clients already have this installed


  		




  2480
  
  
    

  		




  2481
  
  
    
&quot;Almost everyone has Flash installed, and every modern browser version can handle HTML Canvas. But while most people will have Java installed, many wont.&quot; who?


  		




  2482
  
  
    
&quot;the user needs to have a Java browser plug-in installed but that&#39;s true for nearly everyone nowadays&quot;


  		




  2483
  
  
    

  		




  2484
  
  
    
&quot;The main benefit is that Java gives you a huge number of libraries / tools for layout and graphics etc&quot;


  		




  2485
  
  
    

  		




  2486
  
  
    
&quot;Java applets can achieve very good performance, certainly well ahead of Javascript. May not be a real issue in your case, but you get all the usual advantages of the JVM JIT-compiling down to native code&quot;


  		




  2487
  
  
    

  		




  2488
  
  
    
&quot;the Java layer means you don&#39;t have to worry about browser differences / incompatibilities so much&quot;


  		




  2489
  
  
    

  		




  2490
  
  
    
&quot;the Google Web Toolkit. Your client code can be written in Java that gets compiled into browser-specific JS&quot;

**IMPORTANT**: to enable security.password_lifetime, you need to set security.ask_for_password=2:


  		




  
  2505
  
    

  		




  
  2506
  
    
&quot;security. password_lifetime 	Integer 	Determines how long (in minutes) to go without asking for the master password in Mozilla Mail when security.ask_for_password is 2. Default value is 30.&quot;


  		




  
  2507
  
    

  		




  
  2508
  
    
&quot;security. ask_for_password 	Integer 	Determines when Mozilla Mail should ask for the master password.


  		




  
  2509
  
    
0 (default): Only the first time it&#39;s needed


  		




  
  2510
  
    
1: Every time it&#39;s needed


  		




  
  2511
  
    
2: Every n minutes, where n is the value in security.password_lifetime.

<DD>&quot;I can do it with JAVA much faster (know it better than javascript and php). But I am afraid of browser incompatibility, security options for applets and similar things.&quot;

  2536
  
    
&quot;While Applets are ridiculously out of fashion, that does not matter to end users. On a modern machine, JVM startup time is not a problem, and *browser incompatibility less of a factor than with JavaScript*.&quot; [+emph]


  		




  
  2537
  
    

  		




  
  2538
  
    
&quot;Applet-specific security is irrelevant as long as you only draw stuff and don&#39;t want to do things like access the user&#39;s harddisk.&quot; (but you can use a desktop app to get around that)


  		




  
  2539

&quot;they don&#39;t run in all browsers&quot; which ones?


  		




  
  2541
  
    

  		




  
  2542
  
    
&quot;Libraries like JQuery and ext_js make gui development as structured as java&quot; but without the all-important type safety


  		




  
  2543
  
    

  		




  
  2544
  
    
&quot;Applets [...] require client installs of java&quot; but most clients already have this installed


  		




  
  2545
  
    

  		




  
  2546
  
    
&quot;Almost everyone has Flash installed, and every modern browser version can handle HTML Canvas. But while most people will have Java installed, many wont.&quot; who?


  		




  
  2547
  
    
&quot;the user needs to have a Java browser plug-in installed but that&#39;s true for nearly everyone nowadays&quot;


  		




  
  2548
  
    

  		




  
  2549
  
    
&quot;The main benefit is that Java gives you a huge number of libraries / tools for layout and graphics etc&quot;


  		




  
  2550
  
    

  		




  
  2551
  
    
&quot;Java applets can achieve very good performance, certainly well ahead of Javascript. May not be a real issue in your case, but you get all the usual advantages of the JVM JIT-compiling down to native code&quot;


  		




  
  2552
  
    

  		




  
  2553
  
    
&quot;the Java layer means you don&#39;t have to worry about browser differences / incompatibilities so much&quot;

&quot;the Google Web Toolkit. Your client code can be written in Java that gets compiled into browser-specific JS&quot;
