JavaFX != MS Silverlight

I was attending last May 13, 2008 the launching of MS Silverlight here in Cebu Philippines, my objective is just to discover whats new in MS world. MS Silverlight is very cool building web 2.0 stuff, Its more like Macromedia Flash, the big different is its finish product will generate XAML which developer can edit on hand. But JavaFX is different, it is more declarative. you can make animation whatever you like with just a notepad(joke). heheheh. Netbeans 6.1 is real amazing.

Programs also built in JavaFX could run in any platform and in any handheld devices as long as JVM is present. I heard it also run on google great Android. is it true? anyway i will try that soon.

JMaki + JavaScript Binding listener to the widget(dojo.drawer).

Objective: is to create a listener that capture the expanding and collapsing of the widgets. you can also apply this technique in other widgets.

in your jsp page.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function drawerListenerExpand() {                

         alert('Drawer Expand.');

             }

             function drawerListenerCollapse(Drawer Collapse) {                

                 alert('Drawer Collapse.');

             }

             function initDrawerListener(){

                 jmaki.subscribe("/dojo/drawer/onExpand", drawerListenerExpand);

                jmaki.subscribe("/dojo/drawer/onCollapse", drawerListenerCollapse);                 

             }

</script>

<a:widget name="dojo.drawer" 

     args="{rate:250, color:'blue', url:'page.jsp', title:'Drawer Sample', expanded: true}" />

- Done pretty simple your page now will capture the the event of your widgets.
