Hello Brent
I don't remember if I ever got to answer up on this before, so I hope you forgive
this late response.
Anyway, I'm most interested in trying at a merge between your JSRS and the DynAPI. I
was about to do some kind of serverside companion to DynAPI anyway, because I'm almost
certain I would have extensive use of it I figure and i figure your JSRS would spare
me a lot of hassle if i could get into how it works properly. I know ASP and how to
script it with jscript which i've understood you do too. If we get JSRS and ASP
working with DynAPI - I thinik it won't be long before someone comes up with ports for
other serverside flavours too.
I've taken a quick glance at jsrsClient.js file and from what i can tell, there's not
very much needed to do to get it DynAPI compaible. Iwill try and do some kind of
initial port forover, but basically I see it like this -and this applies very well to
the model I have been pondering of implementing in even before I was aware of your
project:
- the 'jsrsContextObj' and container could be ported to a DynAPI LoadPanel, which
basically is a dynlayer with the ability to load pages into.
- DynAPI uses prototyping, so a lot of what is functions in JSRS would better be
ported to the prototyping model of either of the above proposed objects.
This is what i've figured so far. Does it make sense to you? I'd like to establish
some kind of common understanding with you before I get in deep in trying to do the
actual porting.
