What's Wrong With the Current State of the Art
- HTML provides very limited page layout support
- Web browsers do not maintain any state information
- Backward/forward/history buttons in browsers allow users to
bypass application page flow
- Web applications that need to maintain state information need
to be written as server programs themselves, since Web servers cannot
do this.
