Yeah, I spent some time deliberating over javascript. I decided to at this 
stage not go there because of the browser / platform differences. 
Particularly when using onther languages like xml / xsl. Some i my apps may 
be run on a mac for instance.

Also it does cater as well for a multi-user environment with changes made 
being reflected as soon a node is clicked.

Cheers,
