For some 18-years BASIS has harnessed the power of Java libraries, using the fruits of the labor of the commercial and open-source community to bring powerful functionality to your BBx applications. This brought the ability to read and write Microsoft Office file formats, a professional report writer tool, Google Doc file formats for cloud storage, and the email and fax utilities (to name a just few) into your trusted programming language, BBx. 

Now there is BIGGER news!

BASIS demonstrates the next big step into desktop, mobile, and browser functionality with BBx's ability to interact with JavaScript. BASIS' BBx can also leverage open-source and commercial JavaScript libraries!

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of the World Wide Web. JavaScript enables interactive web pages and thus is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it, and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it. (Wikipedia)

This week's Java Break will display and demonstrate three new examples of leveraging the fact that not only is the BBjHtmlView control a complete web browser, with full support for modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, it also enables BBj to interact with JavaScript! This is just the tip of the iceberg of the awesome new potential for enhancing your application that has now been unlocked!   Register now .
