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.

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.
