I'm looking at the issue of re-doing the work in javascript and HTML, basically the AJAX model. AJAX is just javascript behind HTML that can make an asynchronous call using XMLHttpRequest. You can set some information in the XMLHttpRequest object, invoke the send method and wait for a result. That way you don't change pages. This will be useful because the Axiom browser can send requests off to Axiom and have it execute. Using Bill and Jose's work we can get Axiom running completely in a web page. This gives us the ability to generate output immediately, effectively making the browser a complete front-end that is system independent. The Axiom graphics can generate postscript images immediately so it would be possible to embed the graphics results directly into the web page. Unfortunately they would be static. t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
