Progress Dynamics Web Development Guide

Considerations for development and use of Progress Dynamics Web applications

Progress Dynamics (Version 2.x) allows you to develop full-featured Web applications. Full-featured Web applications implement the functionality and user interface features that you find in Windows applications. However, it is not possible to replicate exactly Windows-based applications in a Web environment. Not all Windows features translate well to the Web browser environment because of differences in event models or object toolkits. Moreover, it is sometimes not desirable to translate Windows features to a Web browser because there are alternative visualizations and behaviors that come closer to what users expect in a Web browser environment.

The significant issues are highlighted in the sections that follow:

General considerations for Web look and feel
Development requirements and restrictions
Unsupported features and objects
Browser behavior
