Comments closedYou are navigating Xojo web 2.0 apps and your use the browser’s back button to return to the previous page of the app. But rather than taking you to the previous page, you get a message that the app lost connection to the sever. This is even more common on a mobile device where we tend to use the back gesture to return to the previous page.
Comments closedYou can package your Xojo Web Apps in a Docker Image. That allows you to run an instance of your applications easily in a Docker Container. Docker provides the infrastructure to host the apps, start/stop them, switch between image versions – and much more.
Comments closedTechnical support for Web 1.0 continues to be available for any user with an active license. While we know that the Web 2.0 framework provides a far better solution for building web applications in Xojo, we recognize that each of you needs to schedule the conversion of your project for a time that is convenient for you and your organization.

Comments closedOne of the big changes in Web Framework 2.0 is that web styles are no longer the primary means of styling controls.

Comments closedWith the release of Xojo 2020r1 comes the new 2.0 version of our web framework. While the way in which you build web applications hasn’t fundamentally changed, this new version is a from-the-ground-up rewrite and utilizes API 2.0 for greatly improved consistency. This means that the conversion process is going to be time-consuming, but will be well worth the effort as web applications built upon Web Framework 2.0 will be more robust, handle more users, be more responsive and have a far more modern look and feel.
