hi mmorse,

thank you for your answer, your posted hyperlinks are very interesting. i try to define what a rich internet application- element is and what the benefit for the user is. do know if there is an overview about used ria- elements in zimbra?

thank you,
greeting

Welcome to the froums,
I take it you use zimbra somewhere/at your school etc?

How about:
zimbra rich internet application - Google Search
(you can switch to german of course)
Search some combinations of 'rich internet applications', 'Zimbra', and 'ajax' and you'll get a bunch of stuff.

While you'll get a lot of docs that have list's at the bottom that have zimbra in it-like the below-their still good background info.
