Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Dynamic Loading.

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

The loadpanel is not the only method of downloading content from a server.

I'm in the process of finishing off a method of downloading content without the
need to create a lot of new objects and it will be more powerful than the
loadpanel.

At the moment, it is still a WIP but is close to completion.  It can be seen in
action here.

You'll see that it executed JS and also extracts the various parts of the
downloaded page.

The main "bug" at the moment is that the MAC versions of java do not include the
required classes for downloading the content.  there is no easy way of fixing
this unless you write the code to work with the java plugin and force all your
clients to download the java plugin.
