Can we all get a cfgod.com email address too? -----Original Message----- From: Nate Nielsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 10:51 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Recent thread?
As I personally developed the first 3 releases of FusionScript I may be able to shed some light on the issues of the ActiveServer component and Netscape. ActiveServer ~will~ be netscape compatible, and the update to solve the current issues should be released before next week (crossing fingers to finish up the last items today). =) Yes, we are still working out some bugs, but that is to be expected to a certain degree I believe in the beta cycle. There are some definite advantages to using the ActiveServer component in comparison to using things such as an iframe or gif pipe. ActiveServer for example will allow you to send complex data such as a multi-dimensional array from your CF server page and have it converted into native JavaScript in it's return. Sending information to and from your server only requires 4 simplistic FusionScript tags! The v1.0 final will include encryption support for any data being sent with the ActiveServer component using a public/private key system, including URL and FORM submission data (you will be able to secure your data transferred with ActiveServer with or without ssl). -etc When I started development on FusionScript, one of the main goals was to allow developers to write cross browser compatible client-server applications quickly and easily. Seeing that FusionScript is a 400 file API and the majority of it is totally cross-compatible, bug-free, I think so far we have accomplished quite a bit for it being a beta IMHO. FusionScript has enjoyed massive growth since its public release in March of this year. The FusionScript web site will easily have over 70,000 hits this month alone. The community is becoming very active and more people are beginning to develop fixes and new components for FusionScript daily. A number of people have begun development on some exciting components such as SAOP integration, content syndication services, XSLT, etc. There is no doubt in my mind that with the number of talented people becoming involved helping evolve it, it will become a premier solution for the web dev community. Give it a chance, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with where the technology is now and where it is going. =) Aslo - It's open source, so any of you guru's out there are welcome to join in and make your mark! =P Best regards, Nate Nielsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 6:24 PM Subject: Re: Recent thread? > I looked at the ActiveServer component, it's still in beta, but all the code > is IE specific.
