Laszlo gets deeper into AJAX

Laszlo up to this point was always compared to Adobe Flex, but OpenLaszlo just made a huge announcement: Their system will now be able to generate AJAX / DHTML pages too. IBM just released their contribution to Open Ajax, but this could be one hell of an IDE and a nice step forward in the Ajax path.


Laszlo Systems is expected to announce this week that it will modify its Web development toolset to let applications run alone in browsers without the Flash presentation system. The company plans to show a preview of the tool at the O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference this week.

The company's OpenLaszlo development tool is designed for writing Web applications with a rich, interactive user interface, often referred to as AJAX-style applications. The present version of the tool relies on Adobe's Flash to run OpenLaszlo applications. But by the end of this year, the company will have a "Dynamic HTML" option for OpenLaszlo, according to company executives. That means applications would run in a modern Web browser--including on mobile devices--without the Flash plug-in.
