Has anyone looked at this product?

   <http://www.laszlosystems.com/>

As near as I can tell it is an XML-Driven implementation of RIA using
_javascript_ (but includes OO constructs).

I guess it can be thought as (somewhat) a competitor to Flash -- you
develop RIA without a stage and a timeline -- but it also complements
Flash swfs.

A source program kinda' looks like a combination of XML and
(simplified) Java or _javascript_. -- for example:

<canvas>

     <simplelayout spacing="5"/>

     <class name="box" height="100" width="100" bgcolor="red"/>

     <class name="borderedbox" extends="box"
            >             >          <attribute name="bordersize" value="3"/>
         <view bgcolor="yellow"
               x="${parent.bordersize}" y="${parent.bordersize}"
               width="${parent.width - parent.bordersize*2}"
               height="${parent.height - parent.bordersize*2}"/>

         <method name="changeSize" args="pixels">
             this.animate("width", pixels, 500, true);
             this.animate("height", pixels, 500, true);
         </method>
     </class>

     <borderedbox/>
     <borderedbox bordersize="6"/>
     <borderedbox bordersize="9"/>

</canvas>

It can be totally self-contained on the client or interact with the
server for data, etc (similar to Flash Remoting)

The site says it can Run as a J2EE app and/or use CF, PHP, etc as
serverside.

There is a free developer version.

Interested to hear any thoughts on this.

TIA
