Peter, I'm a few months into using the DHTMLX suite. I've found it very effective at creating forms that work like 4D's (grid, menu, toolbar, window). There have definitely been some moments where I needed support, but I keep getting good answers, no walls (yet).

Hi Folks I realise there has been discussion about comparing one against another advanced web technologies but since I'm not even familiar with the most basic web 2 stuff and I'm looking for the bottom rung of the ladder (e.g "what is Web 2 Pack ?" :). I've have obviously read wikipedia articles etc so I do know what these technologies are in 'theory' but how to start implementing them ? I have to do an appraisal for an application which involves some basic interactive pages. It's nothing extreme - just a few forms with pop-up menus, type ahead clairvoyance, some lookups on table data etc. I don't quite know where to start in looking at Web 2 stuff: - 4D Web 2 pack ? - Flex ? etc etc - Active4D Ajax solution ? Since I'm Active4D oriented, I'd be doing the project in Active4D / Fusebox. The kinds of questions on my mind are: - Is Ajax the natural next step from basic html to do data manipulation UI's, validation, lookups etc ? - Do I need 4D Web 2 Pack to do Ajax with Active 4D ? Sorry for my total blankness on this - please point my head in the right direction.
