When you create forms in J6 you give some instructions and then J generates code for you.
I guess you will have tools to generate JS code for you after a few versions. There are already some demos that can use used to test out some gui connections to J. The beauty of J has always been to allow you to write short code and having tools available that takes care of complex operations. The beta now is presented to users in a much earlier stage than before so much of the tools are not there yet. Helps are not out yet either. 2010/9/2 Don Guinn <[email protected]> > What worried me and prompted writing was Eric's message saying that > JavaScript was a good way to make J web aware.
