I don't think the current release will allow javascript running in the html view to call J. This should be possible and opens up interesting possibilities. The preliminary step would be to experiment with javascript in the html view. I think it should be easy to put html controls in the window and have touching them do things. The trick would be to have the page do an ajax http request to a server running in J. Experiments and feedback welcome.
There are many ideas for significant imprrovements to JiOS. Perhaps in the new year we can launch a new beta program. This could move much faster if there was a way to tie it to funding. I may consider a small ($10) charge for the next version. It could generate some money to drive more development. Or it could kill it dead.
