Rare is it may seem that I actually know what I meant, I think. I meant Java Script. Since you were talking about GUI, I was guessing you were planning to push the envelope beyond plain Jane HTML, not that I think there is anything bad about HTML.
I was daydreaming about a little more for the Pedi Project and thinking I needed to dig into seeing what the full capabilities are of client side Java Scripting are if that was along the lines you are thinking. Or were you speculating more? I am thinking about drawing a pretty graph, for instance, with x and y pixel points using data (probably x,y pairs that can be scaled up or down if need be) served up by a call to VistA. Any thought about that? If it is HTML you need help with, I might be able to contribute to that effort. (Awesome. Something I can actually do! - maybe.)
