Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Design question, HTML for GUIs?
2010/1/15 Günther Schmidt gue.schm...@web.de: Thank you guys for all your responses. I just came accross something called HTML-Dialogs. It's mentioned in the ANNOUNCE files of the 0.26 source package of HaskellDirect. Apparently it takes about (on Windows) using HTML to create GUIs and scripting the Internet Explorer via COM. That would eliminate the need to use a webserver. Does anyone here know more about it, I tried to google it, but guess how much comes up when the only keywords you have is Internet Explorer HTML Dialogs. Sounds like Client-side web scripting with HaskellScript - Erik Meijier, Daan Leijen and James Hook from PADL'99 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/emeijer/publications/client-side-web-scripting.pdf http://www.haskell.org/haskellscript/ Best wishes Stephen ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

hledger does this, using happstack (or in theory, any hack back end). http://joyful.com/repos/hledger/Commands/Web.hs might give some ideas. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
[Haskell-cafe] Re: Design question, HTML for GUIs?
+++ Günther Schmidt [Jan 10 10 19:38 ]: Hi everyone, as probably most people I find the GUI part of any application to be the hardest part. It just occurred to me that I *could* write my wxHaskell desktop application as a web app too. When the app starts, a haskell web server start listening on localhost port 8080 for example and I fire up a browser to page localhost:8080 without the user actually knowing too much about it. Is that a totally stupid idea? Which haskell web servers would make good candidates? Are there any *continuation* based web server in haskell, something similar to Smalltalk's Seaside? Happstack is not continuation based, but Chris Eidhof shows how to use Happstack with continuations here: http://gist.github.com/260052 And Chris Smith has built a package: http://bifunctor.homelinux.net/~roel/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/happstack-dlg-0.1.1 John ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
