Hi,

I'd like to know which tools and techniques are available for supporting the programmer in creating web pages, in this special case for creating a database client. This can be dynamic or static content and framing pages.

Searching the Wiki I found information about CGI, Web Services and some components for showing HTML. I know from memory there are some rich client support techniques, but I forgot the names.

My goal is to use only one kind of basic technology on client and server side. So if I have to use something else than fpc/lazarus for building the visual part on the user side, the server will be done using this something, too. And I like best to use Object Pascal.

What do you use?

TIA,
Marc

Aha, that's looking very nice. It can handle templates out of the box, nice.

Thank you.

Found it it is ExtJS / ExtPascal.

Since I'm planning a program being some sort of feasibility study in the first stage and only eventually will go into production use, I'd like to keep the amount of work small.

Can someone comment on the efford of getting started using the two?

TIA,
Marc

You do not need extpascal to use extjs with FPC.
There are working examples on using ExtJS directly with FPC in the /packages/fcl-web/examples/ directory of FPC (might be the latest SVN only)

The /examples/combined as well as all the /examples/webdata/ contains multiple demos.

You can ask all about it in this group http://groups.google.com/group/extpascal Wanderlan Santos is the autor of project and he participates of the group too.

I see, will try eventually. Although I#m not so optimistic if noone is actually using it ...

Thanks!

Good to know.

OK, that will get me started or at least show me how it works in detail, beautiful.

Thanks a lot,
Marc
