Does the internet programming have to be awkward and user unfriendly? Yes it does until the internet programming model is changed from HTTP/HTML to another one. I already hear very angry criticism saying that this model is being successfully used by thousands of programmers all over the world. Yes that is true. However have you ever asked yourself the questions like: It is strange that after more than 10 years of internet existence there is no a decent HTML editor.

Many desktop applications have user interface controls that allow a user to find matches for things as they type. This feature can be very useful for long lists of items such as states, countries, streets or product categories. Many web browsers implement this sort of functionality in their address bars. As you type, web site address matches that are part of a list of recently visited sites appear in a menu below the address bar. This reduces the amount of time it takes to access information.
