Re: EGL RichUI Was:Re: From RGP to ¿Java?

Thanks Joe!

I assumed it depended on scripting and generally when I write web
applications, I use scripting, but it always nice to at least give the
non-scripting user something to look at. It might look ugly, but at least
something that they could navigate with.

I will have to look at it. I don't generally like WYSIWYG type of stuff, but
I think I really need to give this a chance ;-)

One more question, is the EGL Cafe the best place for information/tutorials?

Hi James!

Yes, it runs in the browser, but it requires scripting. There's no way
around that. I don't know of a way to create a rich client interface
without scripting (that's because you can't even do basic AJAX without
scripting).

The EGL design, both rich client and thin client, is WYSIWYG. The fact
that you write your rich client in simple, procedural EGL is part of the
appeal. You can test your entire interface on the desktop without
having to touch the host.

Joe,
I haven't yet played with EGL, but it is starting to peak my interest.

When

you say RichUI, this is still a web page, it just uses JavaScript to

enhance

the view, correct? Does it account for users that have scripting

disabled?

Also, is all EGL design WYSIWYG?

Thanks in advance,
