Hi,
Some of you will be aware of Remote Scripting (as it is labelled by
Microsoft) which basically allows a client to make calls to server functions
and get values back allowing a page to update itself without requiring a
reload. People have been doing this for year with hidden frames and the
like. The Microsoft version uses a hidden Java applet to provide this
transparent connection, but this doesn't work on various systems that don't
allow Java applets to be scripted with JavaScript.
So a guy called Brent Ashley wrote a JavaScript only version that uses a
hidden iframe as the container for all communications, so this works on a
wider selection of browsers. His JSRS is available from
http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/ and a very impressive example of its use can be
seen at http://ardnoc82.canet3.net/CAnet3map/CAnet3map.htm
I've written a PSP backend for JSRS, so that client-side JavaScript can call
server-side Python functions. I would be interested to know if anyone is
running a WebWare/PSP server for demonstration purposes on which I could put
a simple remote scripting test page. I've tested it internally, but we don't
have any externally visible WebWare systems on which to show it off.
Would anyone be interested in taking me up on this?
Regards,
David O'Callaghan
