Anyway, I have made my own javascript-windows-in-a-browser (that look like M$), and then I found a much better javascript object-oriented window system which can do Mac OS X looking windows among other things.

Nice, what is that system?

Why do you want it to be lazy? And your sentence is confusing. "Lazy" would not be inefficient, it would make things harder to program. Puzzled.

Because a javascript object in the browser would tell a lazy evaluation system on the server to make it's attributes "stale", but the server would do no action to update the other javascript object (with those persistent http connections). The other javascript objects would have to demand a value from the server, but they don't know that they are supposed to. So the browser update would never happen.

I understand. Lazy works only in certain application roles, and this requirement sounds the opposite: eagerly bring a second view current with the first.

Why are you considering laziness at all?

ps. Did your subscription go through? After I subscribed you I got the announcement from the software that you had been subscribed, so that much worked. k
