JQuery UI Widgetset
lazarus / 31-LCL

It occurs to me that we could create some sort of browser stub in
Javascript/CSS/HTML that communicates with a back end via AJAX... In
this way we could create another target widgetset for the LCL that
goes to the browser using one of the common UI frameworks, such as
JQuery UI...

As far as I know ... no, there is no such thing for Lazarus/FPC. I
know a bit about CSS and was looking for it, it will be great for me
if I can use it in Lazarus.

In this way we could ... What about you? Have something done? Code,
research, elaborated proposals?

Nope.  I was just thinking out loud.  After some thinking, Pas2JS
would be the way to go.  I would have to do a proof of concept using a
single widget, such as a button, just to show how it would be done...
Then probably how to integrate ajax calls back to the server...

Despite having Pascal in high school (on an Apple II), I don't
remember enough to even be dangerous at this point.

There are some videos about Pas2JS on You Tube:

There are also some other alternatives that you might try:
Lazarus + ExtPascal = Login

I would probably end up using both.  Pas2JS for the client side GUI,
and ExtPascal for the remote calls.

If I try to use ExtPascal for all of it, then I'm stuck mapping a
stateful application onto a stateless server, and my solution begins
to look a lot like the tried and abandoned classic ASP.NET.
