Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Web Development Guide

Overview of Web application development

With Progress Dynamics, the same Repository definitions that generate a Windows user interface can generate a Web browser user interface. Dynamics managers automatically translate the abstracted definitions stored in the Repository into Dynamic HTML (DHTML). The DHTML employs Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript objects to create full-featured user interfaces. The Web browser user interface can contain the wide variety of menus, tool bars, and many of the other graphical elements that you see in Windows GUI applications.

Note: In this guide, the term Web application refers to an application whose user interface is displayed in a Web browser. See the "Web browser support" section for information on supported browsers.
