I'm not sure what you mean by this, Mike. In the majority of frameworks, the underlying document is HTMLm with JavaScript added to provide those features HTML doesn't support. For example, a DataGrid in Dojo is an HTML table, but with JavaScript attached to events to provide things like sorting.

Actually, you should really like Dojo because among all the frameworks I think it's the best in providing both a markup language variant (which is basically just HTML with extra tags) and a programmatic syntax that can be used by generation tools such as EGL.

The only problem I have with most of these newer frameworks is that
they rely heavily on JavaScript and not so much on HTML. This is
mostly personal preference here, but I like to do must of the display
in HTML and use JavaScript only when needed. I realize why these
products are using JavaScript frameworks as it is much easier to work
with, but that is something to think about as you research them.

Personally, here I think we will probably do ASP.NET MVC front-ends
and use the existing RPG business logic on the back-end.
