Hi:
I am totally ignorant about LC Server, and my knowledge of LC HTML5 is not much more.
I am trying to get some perspective on each.
What is the difference between an HTML5 Standalone and loading a stack into an HTML document using server side scripting?
Please feel free to educate me with more general comments, if necessary.
Thank you,
Sri

Re: Difference between LC Server and HTML5 Standalone
Hi Sri.
LiveCode Server, available in LC 6/7/8, provides a non-GUI-engine server-side.
HTML5 standalones, available in LC 8, have a LC-engine client-side.
First info to LC server

First (mostly actual) info to HTML5 standalones

A HTML5 standalone is probably what you mean by "load a stack into a HTML document" (what is not generally possible with 'server side scripting').sritcp wrote:What is the difference between an HTML5 Standalone and loading a stack into an HTML document using server side scripting?

Re: Difference between LC Server and HTML5 Standalone
Thanks, Hermann!
I was wondering if the final result is similar.
That is, are these two ways to achieve the same final result (with different advantages/ disadvantages)?
Load a stack (include or require) is part of server side scripting given in the guide.
Thanks,

You will be able in most cases to create with the HTML5 standalone builder (the final, not the current alpha) results similar to that created by LC-Server.sritcp wrote:I was wondering if the final result is similar.
Vice versa: NO.
I have a lot of HTML5 standalone examples available online (incl. input stack!), see "Successfull test". You could try to make one of these "similar" with server side scripting. Then show us the result.
