Thanks for the link.

Then the big problem is how to define the interface *and* the code in Gambas, 
and see it in the browser with this toolkit. I see no solution at the moment.

If the code is in Gambas, then all events generated by the interface on the 
browser should be sent to the server. 

In other words, an XmlHttpRequest must be put between each GUI Gambas method 
and the browser, and between each browser event and GUI Gambas event handler. 
The browser can send an XmlHttpRequest to the server as needed, but I think 
the contrary is impossible.

In other words, the event loop must be completely managed by the browser.

Maybe by taking their code, and modifying it deeply? It is an huge job...

Another point: their toolkit is rather slow on my Firefox, but I think we 
cannot do anything about that. Thanks to AJAX, now we will need an AthlonX2 
to browse the web :-)
