RE: State of the AJAX Union

I've scripted with JS for 12 years and would contribute all I could to a project of this type. My interest would be more from a reverse engineering view point. If the LWP could be used to efficiently parse JS at useragent level it would be both a blessing and a curse. Right now JS is great for blin

I've also been interested for a long time and tried to work on this 2 years ago but didn't get far enough to bother trying to release anything. DOM could be tackled in an HTML::Tree-->XML::"parser" fashion. That way, bad mark-up could be legitimized and something like XML::LibXML could handle the

Howdy: I guess that this means that my subscription to libwww-perl was accepted. :-| I am trying to install libwww-perl-5.805. In ../libwww-5.805/ I run the ./install.sh script and it complains that I need URI, HTML::Parser, and Compress::Zlib 1.10. I need this for a LTSP v4.2 server. I a

I'm willing to take a crack at laying out a vision, high level objectives and some implementation requirements based on my experiences and see how much interest there is for a group effort if others are interested in helping out. I'm sure I'll miss a lot that others with different experiences cou

I agree that folks have been talking about JS for a long time, and that it's frustrating, but what I'm suggesting is that we need to tackle a different problem first. This isn't an academic question - without knowing how the DOM is going to work (or even if there is one), the JS conversation can'

Would an "easier" (yet still monumental) starting point be to tackle the DOM implementation independent of a JS engine? It seems like attempting to create any kind of a JavaScript framework implementation would be pretty useless (and horribly incomplete) without the DOM being present first. An i
