hi Chuck,

I think this syntax:
javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl13$LoginButton','')

is a microsoft aspx trying to do ajax. I don't know what to do, but I'm interested in figuring it out and am (still) working on it.

I had an idea for how to support pages with ajax. I wonder what Karl, Chris & Adam think of this? I'm interested in bringing in information from the javascript debugger that is available as part of spidermonkey. jsdbgapi.c is like the JSAPI only with ways of addressing stack frames - I think?

So I think if you are running Chuck's site and stepping through moments in time, you would eventually hit a stack frame that contained all the parameters to doPostback, all assembled and ready to go (hopefully). A 'step' command would work neatly with the CLI. If a full URL is sitting there in memory just for one step's worth of time before being sent to an ajax routine as a parameter, we could grab it, browse it and work with the output. So we don't have to "support ajax" if we can deconstruct ajax and do what the ajax would do, but turn-based and CLI rather than constant, chatty network activity for little bits, and with a graphical bias. What do you think?

thanks
Kevin

Hi people,

I still find submit buttons that don't submit, and have a brief log of
one such, with db7 selected in edbrowse. Any ideas about this?

edbrowse returns to the line on which I typed g.
