Scheme Programming Language :: web widget library


	web widget library i'm about to roll my own very primitive, somewhat asp.net style web controls library for a project. i want to be able to design independent widgets/divs/layers/editors that get their data laoded into them from scheme on the server, and have their behavior divided across javascript adn scheme, depeding on whether i want to force a full refresh. this is obviously all teh "buzz" for the last year or two. although i dont' need this ajax thing, just want to be able to describe my web application as a set of forms with independently designed web widgets that allow you to visualize objects and create commands to send to a scheme server. seems like all the parts are out there. maybe yahoo ui library + a little scheme library for creating adn manipulating divs and their positions and appearance(written by me) + plus a scheme json library for transferring the model data behind the widgets from server to client and back. just checking with the crew here if they can give me any quick pointers as to the most relevant libraries. from the libraries i've seen so far, they offer things like, "hey, i'll help you write your html". or "i'll run your scheme in a web server". - Hide quoted text - "nposter" <code4breakf@yahoo.com> writes: > i'm about to roll my own very primitive, somewhat asp.net style web > controls library for a project. i want to be able to design > independent widgets/divs/layers/editors that get their data laoded > into them from scheme on the server, and have their behavior divided > across javascript adn scheme, depeding on whether i want to force a > full refresh. > this is obviously all teh "buzz" for the last year or two. although i > dont' need this ajax thing, just want to be able to describe my web > application as a set of forms with independently designed web widgets > that allow you to visualize objects and create commands to send to a > scheme server. > seems like all the parts are out there. maybe yahoo ui library + a > little scheme library for creating adn manipulating divs and their > positions and appearance(written by me) + plus a scheme json library > for transferring the model data behind the widgets from server to > client and back. > just checking with the crew here if they can give me any quick > pointers as to the most relevant libraries. from the libraries i've > seen so far, they offer things like, "hey, i'll help you write your > html". or "i'll run your scheme in a web server". There's also dojo (http://www.dojotookit.org) which seems to have more widgets than YUI. Otherwise, if you'd be doing it in CL, I'd advised Parenscript (http://www.parensript.or) (and JWACS to get javascript continuations and a javascript parser (to go back to Parenscript)). In anycase, you are on the right tracks IMO. Dojo Javascript RPC thru json with a lisp server is very nice! ;-) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com http://pjb.ogamita.org
