Recommendations?? Eg anyone use Google Web Toolkit?
http://code.google.com./webtoolkit/ Guff: "Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML."

Under Java I use DWR - which deals with all the issues surrounding IE/Firefox incompatibilities. Are there any around that people are using for Delphi? Typically they create you Javascript classes to call from your Delphi source code. So you just create the object (with a mapper file on your web server) and call the method and the infrastructure takes care of all the rest. I implemented a file upload using AJAX that _accurately_ tells you how far through the upload you are using AJAX (it asks the server how much of the file you have uploaded). It really makes uploading via HTTP fantastic!

IE is consistently the biggest factor in the time it takes me to make a web app. In fact I'm struggling right now with an IE problem that should work fine (using xmlHttpRequest) but doesn't (works fine in Firefox etc). *sigh* Phil. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi __________ NOD32 1.1461 (20060329) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
