I think a lot of people are hung up on the CSS way of doing things, and being able to customise look and feel using standard CSS. qooxdoo doesn't play ball with CSS. That probably puts people off. 0.8 has had more work on embedding into an existing page, I think. > As you suggest, compression will be incorporated into my app in the > future.

It's up to the server to supply a compressed version of the file if it's available and the browser says it will accept it; or the uncompressed version if the browser doesn't say it can accept gzip. So there's no hit. > The code to build the BookViewWindow is only requested and > evaluated one > time if it does not exist yet. Oh, I thought I saw multiple requests for it in Firebug. > My app compressed down to about 140k, but I would like to know if > there is a limit on the size of a file for dialup.

Once that is done, when someone returns to your site the browser will make a very quick check on the server to see if the main script file has been modified. If not, it doesn't bother requesting but just uses the copy in local cache.
