Re: iPhone Rich UI

Joe,

If you read through the July archive of the "Presentation Layer" discussion on web400-l, I think you'll see that it's hardly a discussion of my frameworks. It's mostly a disussion of ideas.

I'm not going to debate with you, Nathan. I was in the thread. The thread evolved into a semantic argument about what constitutes client/server programming. I saw no benefit in my continued invovlement, and said so on July 18th.

When we did delve into frameworks we looked more at Ext js and other open source frameworks, which I have no affiliation with, but was interested in learning about.

Since July 18th, most of your posts in that thread have been about or around your frameworks. There have been a couple that didn't, but they were the exception. I read them, but found no reason to respond.

It just seemed a little odd that you'd raise the topic of the rich UI support in EGL, but abstain from a general discussion that included other frameworks and general R&D.

And I consider it odd that you're worried about which threads I join or don't join <smile>.

I'd welcome a discussion that included EGL's rich UI support. You can abstain if you want. That's your perogative, of course.

Evidently I can't abstain without you questioning my abstention...

The point that drew me into your thread was that it dealt specifically with the iPhone, which I think adds a new dimension because of its 480 X 320 screen resolution, portability, ardent supporters. As far as I know, the iPhone doesn't run IE or Firefox, which are the two client's I normally try to support. Walden also asked if one of the examples I published would run on wireless handhelds, and I don't know the answer. I don't have an iPhone, for example.

There are a number of iPhone emulation sites. They might help you in your endeavors.
