I've noticed that Real Basic are about to launch a web edition.
Went to their site expecting a web plugin requirement and found this:
'REAL Studio Web Edition apps run as a FastCGI on Apache.' !

No plugin so works on most default Apache set ups. As it's a cgi it
will
work on Ipad, Iphone and most browsers.
Now I'm not a Real Basic fan but have to say that having the web
version to
output FastCGI is pretty neat.
Surely this is a better way for RunRev to go for the web and avoid
plugins
altogether. Wouldn't this open up the uses and market for RunRev?
Yes - I'd have to agree with you. Luckily we can get the same
experience by
working with Revolution and Rodeo <http://rodeoapps.com/>. RunRev should
never have put development effort into a plugin, it was always more
sensible
to develop integrated revServer / JavaScript solutions, but this is
not a
solution that RunRev with it's focus on the engine fully appreciated
- I've
never felt they got the web. Of course some people love the plugin,
it makes
me smile too, and only the future will truly tell - in 2 years time
will we
be looking at a rich range of web apps using JavaScript, HTML / HTML5 as
their front ends or will lots of us be using a web plugin?

So in brief, if ToolBook could do this almost a decade ago I see
no reason why Rev couldn't also:
1. Identify a subset of things that would be useful in a browser.
2. Make a Rev library with handlers to support those tasks.
3. Make a JavaScript library with corresponding handlers to get
those behaviors in a browser.
4. Author in Rev, have a library generate the objects as DHTML
snippets in a web page, reference the JavaScript lib,
and upload.
5. Give the URL to your friends and enjoy. :)
Oh, and I forgot Step 0 (before 1):
0. Get some of the open source advocates here to do #1, 2, and 3.

Oh, Gosh, its that time of the year again; when we dig out our old
hobby-horses and reiterate them again, again,
again . . . anybody remember my Agent-led interface prototype for
developing RunRev stacks by teachers?????
If 10% of the ideas that have been batted around on this Use-List over
the last 10 years had actually got further
than somebody's PC we WOULD be living in a different world to what we do.
Sadly, there is the "bread and curd" problem (remember; no s*x,
r*l*g**n, m*n*y or ch**s*), and we all have to
fill our bellies.
