Casabac Interactive Web Pages allows a developer to create web pages that behave like normal desktop application user interfaces that we are very familiar with from non-Web environments:
By using Interactive Web Pages you can provide business functions to your operators using the browser as interactive client. New usage opportunities present themselves as Casabac allows to push applications into the web browser that one so far did not think about - and make them available in portals to employees or partners
Classical Web applications suffer from the technological lacks of normal

pressing a button in the page) the browser communicates a URL to the server and
receives back a whole new page. The new page is rendered in the brower, having
the effect of a non stable, flickering screen. - Page reloading happens every
time the user interacts with the server, event if there is no change or only
minor changed inside the page.
Imagine you are in complex sales order screen, showing many order items and you
check availablility of one item. The consequence will be that the whole screen
will be rebuilt, both on server side (where the HTML is produced) and on client
side (where the HTML is rendered into a new screen).

When communicating to the server only data changes are passed from the page to the server (and back). There is no reloading of pages, there is no flickering and there is no massive data volume that is exchanged by always sending complete HTML pages every time over the net.
The following browser environment is required:
