Hi, > Actually, if you'd like to use js to access a database, may I suggest > Adobe AIR?
Have I already expressed my dislike of AIR? > Basically, in allows you to embed JS/HTML into an installable application, Wow, how new. Have you ever looked at XUL? Just create an installer that installs XULRunner and your XUL/XBL/HTML/JS/CSS-Application and you are done. I also remember to have seen simple Windows applications that only created a window, embedded the IE Engine and load a HTML page that has been copied to disk by the installer. Have you ever heared of .hta applications? They are a generic type of the above IE applications by only providing the HTML, images, scripts, etc. in an archive file. OK, the last two are not platform independant, but in many cases that is good enough. Use XULRunner otherwise. So what is so revolutionary new about AIR now that we have to hear all that fuzz? Is there anything that can not be done equally efficient with XULRunner? Christof
