You should check out the various AJAX libraries (jQuery, Prototype, Mootools, etc) if you think AJAX is painful. They take care of the browser differences and the rest of the low-level pain. BTW, I too find myself needing flash just to navigate band sites. :-(

AJAX Posted Mar 12, 2008 15:04 UTC (Wed) by Los__D (subscriber, #15263) [Link] I must admit to having only used GWT for going up in abstraction level, that helped a LOT (I especially liked writing in a proper language, and the improved debugging), but the pain and differences underneath shined through a bit too much for my tastes.
AJAX Posted Mar 15, 2008 0:17 UTC (Sat) by jschrod (subscriber, #1646) [Link] I use these libraries and AJAX programming is still a pain in the back. It's only easy if you ignore the security requirements and decide not to check anything on the server side and rely on the client's AJAX code. BAD idea... Well, there's stuff like ajax4jsf (https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/) and similar -- but if you look how much you have to take care of (both on the client and the server side), it's not really an easy environment either.
