The GUI work in the recent meeting was M2Web and browser oriented, primarily MUMPS producing HTML as output. Javascript is used in many of the existing applications and will be used extensively in more advanced applications to increase client-side interactivity but we didn't get into that much. Is that something you are interested in?
The most interesting development (to me) from the meeting was an experimental application (^htDIQ) that uses the Fileman DBS interface. It generates on-the-fly input formats filled with data from existing records and posts the data for verification. It is not saving the data posted quite yet but that is just a matter of testing and working out details of the interaction and handling error conditions. This is something I actually started at the Seattle meeting in response to ideas and suggestions from Dave Whitten, then he and I both worked on it a little since then. Hmmmm. What do you mean by "Java Script"? I assumed you were referring to the Javascript language embedded in Mozilla and other browsers, but many people seem to confuse that with Java.
