Re: Modernizing

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.
