Hrm, I've always used the verbage 'web-based app' for anything that funneled its way over to the Internet and was stuck in my browser. (Versus something that hung out on my hard drive.) Do you guys think it's inaccurate to call an app like this one that is 95% Javascript 'web-based'? If not, what is a more accurate word?



Do you consider a Java Applet to be a web based application?


It resides on a web server, you access it via a web browser, it's a web-based app.
