Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Dynamic
Loading.
The loadpanel is not the only method of downloading content
from a server.
I'm in the process of finishing off a method of downloading content without
the need to create a lot of new objects and it will be more powerful than the
loadpanel.
At the moment, it is still a WIP but is close to completion. It can
be seen in action here.
You'll see that it executed JS and also extracts the various parts of the
downloaded page.
The main "bug" at the moment is that the MAC versions of java do not
include the required classes for downloading the content. there is no
easy way of fixing this unless you write the code to work with the java plugin
and force all your clients to download the java plugin.

While I agree that the WebOS solution is overkill

Loadpanel approach is not the most solid
bridge to deliver dynamic (dynamic
being defined as 'dynamic
server/client interaction') content. I think we
need to explore
alternatives/improvements to the glue between the DynAPI and
the wealth
of server-side power that exists out there.
JS is client. It performs best in that world. The server-side
unlocks a
whole new world of "dynamics" that currently tend to funnel
into very "dead"
client interfaces. That's what peaked my interest
in the DynAPI in the
first place. I loath the limited realm that
FLASH delivers along with its
pathetic CPU chewing rendering
engine. I like the fact that the DynAPI
leaves options 100% open
for me to pick and choose front-to-back delivery
platforms.
Currently loadpanel is probably the weakest link supporting the DynAPI
platform. But it is the "only" link we currently have to bridge
between two
very different worlds. Fix and optimize it....,
then you will see magic...
The "art" of client side interface will meet the "fandango dance" of the
server-side apps and really enhance the overall forumla for developing
and
delivering the web experiences of tomorrow.
