I've a question about HTML5 export and how this is intended to fit in with
the other pieces of LiveCode and a modern web environment - so far it has
only really been presented in the context of standalone Javascript apps and
I'd like to know more about how I could link this to the other web content
- other than simple HTTP requests. The question is along the lines of what
is possible, and what is actively being developed in terms of functionality.
At the moment, my main focus is on providing a way to create standalone
JavaScript apps (and I'm glad that that's how HTML5 Deployment has been
presented to you)! I expect that this will keep me occupied at least
until LiveCode 8.0.0 is released.
In particular I would like to be able to create Javascript plugins and
widgets that the rest of the web page can interact with - so a web page
author could include the libraries and then we expose an API for Javascript
developers to use.
Yes, that would be great, and would make LiveCode HTML5 deployment even
more useful. However, this is not something that I currently have any
specific plans to implement. I've already got plenty left to do to make
more complicated LiveCode-only apps work, first. There's little point
in adding new features if the features that have already been committed
to aren't fully working and supported yet.
Also how would the browser widget work in this context?
At the moment I don't have any specific plans to support the browser
widget in HTML5 apps. I expect that very few people will have the need
to run a browser in a LiveCode app that's already running in a browser.
