Also, for the future, providing a closer integration of the PH Web product
with an HTML design tool would be very helpful. Right now, the styled HTML
must be modified by hand to implement changes. A QDESIGN recompile into HTML
will not merge the HTML design with the PH logic. Either the PH must be laid
into the template or vice versa. That would produce a productivity gain that
could be a great sales point, and better justify the PH Web costs.
The upcoming version, 2.4, will let you do a much better job of prototyping
the entire application before any HTML changes have to be made. Basically,
in 2.2, you had to make HTML changes just to get a basic application that
passed data back and forth between pages. This is now handled automatically.
We are looking at further enhancements to merge the HTML but since the HTML
is simple text, with no hooks to the QDESIGN source, it's not a simple task.
All I can say is that we are looking at it for a future release.
