Re: Yahoo talk about the software revolution that is JavaScript We have a fairly large Windows application at work. The big wigs wanted us to convert this application into a web app. The Windows app is highly specialized. Every component can be customized and users build their own forms that do just about anything. So, we're using extJS and pass metadata to the browser that is used to build each form on the fly. The forms are kept in multiple tabs. Forms will contain a couple hundred records with grids and custom components all handling different events. Each record can have subrecords with subgrids. Pretty fat for a client. It's all done with javascript. I have to say I'm amazed that it's not dirt slow, and it's actually surprisingly fast. Tons of javascript code and a lot data being sent back and forth. But, javascript is handling it pretty well.
It seems if you do it right, it can be done. That's just my own observation.
