With my applet base loading. I can load the content in the same fashion but can
actually delay the loading of widget code until it is actually needed.
eg. I can have a widget that has the option of using the mouse code for stopping
mouse events. the mouse code is not download unless I have selected it to be
used in the widget.
it also allows for code to be downloaded after the pae has been loaded and as
such allows for coding a full site in a single page without the need for
separate pages.
If you wanted to you could delete the unused objects before loading the new page
components.
I have recently updated all the .js files so that if you load a widget and
haven't loaded the required base code, it will automtically download this first.
also, if you accidently download the widget twice, it will not execute the code
unless you specifically override the in built error checking. this will stop
and object extenstions from being overwritten be the original code.
