I used html pages with augmented tags parsed by a standard handler:
<img src="some.gif" function="Class::method" arg="foo" kbit>
this way i can instantiate classes, named components, and call
their methods. Programmers write classes wich in turn call templates.
Designer can control 1) graphic layout by moving 'images' (and other
tags of course) 2) view details modifying templates.
There are other high level tools:
<img get="variable" kbit>
<img set="variable" value="..." kbit>
<img placeholder="name" kbit>
<img include="<URI>" filter="..." kbit>
functions can use variables and fill placeholders. Every component
can interact with the handler, receiving context infos (possibly
including session data) and answering with some content plus HTTP
codes, which seem to me quite explanatory.
If someone wants to know more, please ask. This framework works in
few dinamic sites here in Italy and is very handy to use, especially
during periodic reorganization of the site (structure, design).
Thank you for the excellent OT!
