NetObjects, Inc.
today announced NetObjects ScriptBuilder 3.0, a powerful scripting
environment for creating dynamic, customizable Web sites.
In addition to
significantly enhanced functionality, NetObjects ScriptBuilder 3.0 is
the first product to support the proposed ECMA Script Component standard,
bringing the power of an object oriented component architecture to script
developers.
Script Components are a new technology standard introduced by NetObjects in
cooperation with Netscape and IBM, which provide script authors the ability
to create components using standard ECMAScript (JavaScript) and XML. By
following simple conventions, script authors can encapsulate their scripting
code into a component wrapper.
Scripters can then easily reuse these
components in their Web pages and server-side applications, working with the
component interface instead of dealing with the underlying implementation
details. This increases programming efficiency and makes code reuse and
management easier.
Script Components provides the only open scripting component solution on the
market and are based on a de facto industry standard (JavaScript include
files) and can run in the popular client and server environments today.
A trial version of the product is available immediately for download from
the NetObjects Web site. The product is expected to
ship in November 1998.
