This is more of a wish list.
Will spider ever consider using html.
I write a lot of business applications. Most only have 300 to 1000 web users.
Counting pixels for location and size for layouts is time consuming at best. Especially when you make additions and changes that change the whole design ...

Thanks for the help.

Event Handling
SpiderBasic does an excellent job compiling BASIC to client-side JavaScript/WASM, and the JS interop is powerful.
However, for developers coming from other RAD environments, one gap becomes apparent as applications grow:

Re: open a database
Is there an example of opening a SQLite db and acessing it? This is my first try at using SpiderBasic. To accomplish access to the DB, I wrote a program in PHP to access the SQLite DB. In SpiderBasic I send a request request = HTTPRequest(#PB_HTTP_Get, "http://localhost/person_api.php?personNum ...

Most of my systems are in multiple sites.
The last winery system was all over, with sites in europe, south america, most states.
Had about 4 wineries where they crushed, blended. The bottling plant had 14 lines. One line did about 20K bottles per hour.
