That doesn't target the problem I have outlined.
What I'm after is a way of essentially coding PHP objects that then get
rendered into HTML AND Javascript.
The dojo toolkit I mentioned is one such framework but does not provide
the solution I am looking for. You may be better served by re-reading
my question again. Should you need any clarification, please ask as
I'm sure it would help others.
