We have a reasonably complex webapp written in Flash by contractors (no
documentation).
We let everyone go (no more $$) and I am now re-writing it with html and
js.
I happened upon Dynapi yesterday (my first day of looking around the web
for dhtml info)
and it looks like a good starting point (and close to a stable release).
Now what I want is not to have to load a new page from the server each
time the user
changes options (makes selections, etc), rather I want the widget(s)
that display the
data simply to be updated and re-drawn. The user would make some new
selection,
the js would communicate with the server requesting new data, the js
would receive the
new data and update the appropriate widgets. Is there any tutorial code,
examples, or
existing sites using Dynapi that have this characteristic? and can I see
the code.
Next, if I have a multi-page webapp, do I have to reload from the server
the Dynapi code
for each page? Is there lazy-loading in the widgets so that if your new
page requires only
one new Dynapi javascipt file, then only it is requested from the
server?
If I create two meta-widgets (widgets made up of more than one base
widget) how do such
meta-widgets specify which base widgets the depend so that if there is a
shared base widget,
it only get requested from the server once? (An examle meta-widget might
be a viewport and
two scrollbars (x and y)).
