   Old ADO is a technology that dead in the sense that there is no further   
   development with it - and has not been for a decade or so. It exists   
   in legacy applications, but it is nothing you should use for a new   
   application in 2012. ADO was crap already in its heyday, and now it also   
   suffers from lack of support for new features in SQL Server.   
      
   You should use ADO .Net, or possibly JDBC or PHP as your data access API.   
   (The old thing old ADO and ADO .Net has in common are three letters.)   
      
   As for being browser-independent or not - if you make your application   
   to run on IE only, you will have to deal with irritated users who prefers   
   to use a different browser.
