Have the browser save state with Google Gears, locally, to be later sync'd to your 'scm' server. Why not save stuff as JSON? I'm actually not sold on the SVG parts; the graphics are fun, but 'text-based' widgets with a reasonable JS library like ExtJS would be oh so much more useful.<BR/><BR/>IOW, I don't think this is anywhere close to MS's waste of Ward.Patrick Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900886008475308281noreply@blogger.com
