AJAX going too far?
I just found the Backbase homepage via the Ajaxian weblog. It looks like they provide rich internet application development tools, so I can understand why they would want to show off their AJAX-fu, and they certainly have put together an impressive demonstration.
The problem is that the site is unusable except as an AJAX application. Rather than using AJAX to enhance the functionality of their site, they use it as the only functionality on the site. The most glaring problem is that none of the links are actual hyperlinks, so I can’t load them in another window or tab. If you’re going to go this far, why not use Flash?
