What I (and others) have always needed is the ability to communicate back to the server to get data ie fill in the user's partially completed form or dynamically change the contents of a dropdown. I consider clientside javascript incomplete without reliable reverse communication.
With 2.9 I can now do that using a CGI to query the database and return a mini document with javascript variables holding the needed data. The call back completion function then allows me to pain the static image. Thanks for all the effort in making this possible. I just wish we had better documentation and that dynapi wasn't so invasive. You have to grok the whole concept before things start to make sense. Why for example does using a hidden IOElement require me to call the main document onLoad using "dynapi.onLoad(myOnLoad);". I find if I don't use that my hidden_io is regarded as busy. This lack of orthogonality is my only (minor) criticism; probably my grasp is as yet incomplete. -- Robin Becker ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
