Yes it can! This is something I have been messing with lately. I have a proof of concept working. Its pretty cool and I think it opens the door for a new kind of hybrid HTML/LiveCode app. Here is what I do. I start up an HTTP server in my stack. revHTTP is full http server that takes about 450 lines of xTalk. You can get from Andre's web site. Once I have revHTTP server running along side my revBrowser, I can use standard HTML / Javascript to exchange data back and forth between the embedded browser and my stack. I can serve pages from my Stack to the browser. I can send AJAX requests to my stack and the stack can respond with XML or JSON. From the embedded browser I can call any handler in any stack that is in memory. revHTTP is single threaded and blocking. It would probably have difficulty handling a busy web site. But I am only using it for one user at a time, so it should be fine. I haven't subjected this to rigorous testing, I just have the proof working. But so far it seems to work pretty well. If I can get it a bit further I will post the code Todd Todd Geist ------------------------------ geist interactive <http://www.geistinteractive.com> 805-419-9382 _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
