,
If anybody think they can make cross browser HTML without a lot of "non
standard code"
they have to think again, it is not possible.
RPG programmers making modernization in HTML ???, if we are talking
replacing 5250
apps forget it, people wants MS look and feel and Rich Internet
Eventdriven UI's that goes
far beyond what a single RPGLE programmer can ever do without using
Frameworks like
Google GWT or Ext JS.
That means server side JAVA or client side OOjavascript an a lots of
components that
is able to "talk" to each other and that again means global DOM event
management
in the browser
This is what a modern HTML body looks like:
<body>
<div id="grid-panel" class="x-grid-xxx"
style="border: 0px solid #c3daf9; overflow: hidden;
padding:0 0 0 0;"></div>
</body>
the rest is generated by java

Re: [WEB400] Would you take a complimentary course on HTML from a
company whose website looked like this?
Well, we did take batch RPG I programmers and added display files and a
majority of them didn't drown.
"Great" web designers may be subjective. But rudimentary html and CSS can
help fill a lot of business needs. Might not have "flaming logos" but
will pump out the information.
If for no other reason than proof of concept that web design can be done
on some internal project...
Or, that the problem with the performance of the pretty web page is not
the i but the "artists" method of bringing down the whole database on the
i at every request and transform the data into his separate server.
Then maybe they can team up.
