>>@Marshal: as Tore mentioned, converting VFP code to JavaScript is virtually impossible (as was supposed impossible the fact of running an existing VFP app on the Web, until FoxInCloud came out…); given this evidence, FoxInCloud has chosen to create a JavaScript 'extension' to the VFP code, interacting with the VFP code:
>>- generate HTML matching the form structure
>>- implement VFP events as JavaScript events
>>- JavaScript send events to the server for execution by the corresponding VFP code (same code as when running in desktop mode).

>>So in that sense you can consider that FoxInCloud changes your VFP application into a JavaScript (+ VFP) application.

>>When I write "generate HTML matching the form structure", it does not mean that the visual aspect must match the VFP look: thanks to the magic of CSS, you can apply any presentation layer (Cascading Style Sheet) to the HTML 'framework'.

Right, thanks, one of them should be without "bs", which stands for "Bootstrap".
English speakers won't think bad.

Any other reaction? (preferably on the thread's subject)
