Team. We have been rather busy for the past few months. We have found time for the CABOOSE-Ozark book which is still in progress and testing the CABOOSE JAVA archive. During testing with web-services which might not produce a timely response, we realized that client-side scripting with Asynchronous Javascript And eXtensible markup language (AJAX) might best satisfy processing responses from web-sources that might present a delay. A combination of AJAX and scripting which replaced the *.innerHTML property of a "span" or "div" element with any default information on the resultant view is necessary for achieving this. All of the AJAX scripting, markup elements, and default content would be provided by a rendering method which replaced any associated page concern described as a placeholder. This approach would allow for faster view display times.
A reusable instance of the needed client-side scripting for supporting these behaviors will be include in the CABOOSE package within its JAVA archive.
With all that said, I am reminded of the words of the wisest man in history that said "meaningless, meaningless, meaningless...all is naught more than a chasing after the wind." So, keeping everything in perspective, take time and enjoy some sunshine and crisp, clean air each day, if you can!
Hunt...Peck...Think...Enjoy Your Days!
