Re: [Help-glpk] Re: Java GLPK to Javascript GLPK bindings

Yeah right, and all in one evening. I'm glad I don't work for you.

According to Wikipedia  Safari supports NPAPI and npruntime, so the
following may apply.

I attach Sudoku.html which is a mofification to the actual version. Open
it in a browser and press Solve. The interesting lines are:

Line 9

    <form onsubmit="Solve()" action="">

and at the end

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--    Begin
    function Solve() {
        document.write("Nigel was here!")
    }
// End -->
</script>

Well, everyone else would probably want it to solve the problem. To do
this we need a plugin (or an ActiveX server on windows).

The one I have written, so far, is called Sudoku and exports one
procedure Solve(). Then if we change the line document.write("Nigel was
here!") to Sudoku.Solve() it solves the problem. Sudoku.Solve() uses
functionallity provided by npruntime to evaluate JavaScript to obtain
the text in elements A..G1..9 and IAJAAR.HPP to interface to glpk see:

http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/iajaarh/Callback_examples/IAJAAR_H.hpp.xps.
 

The function Solve() in the html isn't necessary as one can write:

 <form onsubmit="Sudoku.Solve()" action="">

This demonstrates that it is possible to invoke GLPK from HTML as if it
were JavaScript, and call JavaScript from GLPK.

If you keep the function Solve() in the HTML it would be possible to
extract the info from the form using JavaScript and pass it as a
parameter to Sudoku.Solve(), thus not needing to evaluate JavaScript
from within the Plugin.

It is possible to write IAJAAR as a plugin and export all the
functionallity of IAJAAR to JavaScript, then possibly write something
like:

 http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/iajaarh/Callback_examples/test.py.xps

in JavaScript.
