RE: [Dynapi-Dev] serious, ... really!

[Pascal <pb...@oi...>]

Hmm, something that actually got lost is Dan's  serverside
widget/code/whatever.

It allowed for runtime communication between Javascript and the server using
the loadpanel.
Not sure if this code is still available somewhere (Dan, you still with us?)
But it was  already doing what you want it to do, written to communicate
with PHP, but could be made to work with ASP or any other s.s.script
language.

Also that solution (lamp) would be able to run on NT based servers aswell,
not sure if java applets are supported 100% on NT based servers.

I found PHP to be a messy thing to code in, but it can do alot with relative
ease..

hmm...so.. you'r turning to the logical side of things..amazing!
