The latest I've heard on QHTML is this entry on LTU from Dr van Roy: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/view/563
"We tried using Dynamic HTML as a basis for a GUI toolkit (in the QHTML tool), but we ran into two practical problems: (1) nobody had implemented enough of the Dynamic HTML standard to be useful, and (2) the most complete implementation, in IE 5.5 I believe, was very slow. It was never intended to be used as a graphical toolkit (it suffered from the suffocating gerbils problem). This was a few years ago, I don't know whether things have improved since then." I've also thought that QHTML sounds like a good idea. The old version of QHTML used a java applet to communicate with the mozart server. I have wondered whether it would be possible to do this with javascript like in Ajax applications. -Rob On Wed, 2005-08-10 at 08:47 +0100, Alex Gian wrote: > Does anyone know what the state of play with QHTL > (http://www2.info.ucl.ac.be/people/ned/qhtml/) is at the moment? > > I hadn't even _heard_ of it until I accidentally stumbled on a > presentation by PvR (www.cetic.be/moz2004/talks/QHTML.ppt) while looking > into AJAX.
