Control HTML Methods

Jade has certain controls which aren't supported under a web-enabled app, but some of the events aren't exported either. How about providing a method which a user can reimplement on user defined controls which will write the HTML for that particular control? Admittedly, you run into problems with pictures since you don't necessarily know what file JADE has exported them to, unless you have a copy of all the images on the website already.

Hmmm.... That is a good idea David, you know I am also wondering about how to make my JADE program work on *my* personal web server.
Is there a way?

Then, if I knew this, I could see my program in action!

PS. Was the news.jadeworld.com website written in JADE?

Yes, but like English, we sometimes borrow a foreign word or so.

Are you saying you have written a webserver, or are you trying to use the windows9x one? The reason websites don't work (JADE ones) under windows 9x is because only NT/2000 have the capability to create Server side Named Pipes, which are required by Jade to make web-apps. If you are running NT, and have written your own web server, then you just need to know how to execute the jadehttp.dll and get the results and you should be fine (as long as you know what you are doing, I'd say it isn't a trivial exercise).

I'm talking about personal web server, the Microsoft program.
So you think moving to windows 2000 would be a good idea so I can get a thrill out of my JADE written website?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to change JADE to work on 95/98?
And it would include doing all that stuff you are saying?

I think I get what you mean anyway.
There is a program called rundll32.exe
That can execute jadehttp.dll, right?
I make a virtual directory to it...
go to: http://127.0.0.1/JADE/jadehttp.dll?SomeProgramSchema

Will that work?
Or not?

That "footer" on all your messages is really annoying...
But very cool! So I might use it...

What David means is that JADE makes use of certain NT-only services in order to create a named pipe server. This is so that the jadehttp.dll can communicate with JADE - JADE creates a named pipe server that the client (jadehttp.dll) communicates with.

What you're suggesting is for JADE to have its own ability to create named pipe servers for 95/98. Apart from the convenience of being able to test your web application on Windows 95/98, I don't imagine the market for such a feature would be very big. So, if you really want to see your JADE web application in action, you'll have to using Windows NT or 2000.
