A server is not needed. You can write standalone browser applications that work offline too.

Sigh. Michael, sometimes I got the impression you are stuck in a loop. Use TFPTimer and TThread. > - Communication between the Server application and the part running on > the brower via a 3rd party web server. There are various ways since years.

But I agree, it could be easier. Client side debugging is working. You can use the browser's debugger to set breakpoints in the Pascal code and step through. > - Lazarus providing a GUI builder for the browser based GUI. That's a big topic.

It has been started in FPC, but no one is working on that.
