Really?  So far I have never had to use D-O-E, even for producing 
extensive javascript in the browser.  What's an example where it was 
murder to work without it?

My usual approach is to try to write the stylesheet so that it could 
work either at the server or at the browser, and to have it produce good 
cross-platform html + javascript.  Natually you can't take advantage of 
some of the nifty features in IE that way, but I deliberately stay away 
from them anyway (I use Mozilla/Firefox myself, after all!).

Cheers,

Tom P
