Pretty much. For example, imagine that WebApp hands back a DOM tree that is decorated with geometric information. The MacRuby app walks this tree and makes the appropriate HotCocoa calls. I think WebApp will simply pass through information it doesn't need, so it should be possible to send in (say) a div that has attributes for widget type (etc) and get back something that means "put one of these widgets in this location with this size". I'm quite sure there are some ugly details to work out, but it costs us nothing to speculate about desirable behavior (:-). -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development _______________________________________________ MacRuby-devel mailing list MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
