    All Functional Tests

    jQuery Functional Test Suite

    Say it in Smalltalk, Do it with jQuery

    Welcome

    Seaside provides a complete integration of jQuery, allowing the use of the library without having to write a single line of JavaScript code. Everything can be configured and plugged together using Smalltalk objects. Try by yourself, by clicking through this functional test suite and by browsing the source-code.

    Seaside

    Seaside is a framework for developing sophisticated web applications in Smalltalk. It provides a layered set of abstractions over HTTP and HTML that let you build highly interactive web applications quickly, reusably and maintainably.

    jQuery

    jQuery is a fast and concise Javascript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

    Browser BrowserA four pane Smalltalk browser - be careful adding this:
    • It will allow others to directly update your running code.
    • It will cause the page to lose its CSS format
    Configuration Browser BrowserOptions for updating Seaside setup. Appears to be identical to the Configuration Tool
