Event handlers can be added to the Web2Cal Calendar when an event is added, edited, moved, or deleted.

When you create a grid component with search and detail view parts and then place the grid onto an A5W page, you will see something like the following.

JavaScript functions can be created and stored in external files. Existing JavaScript libraries can also be linked into a component or .a5w page.

Cookies can be created and read using the Context object.

In order to call node services from your web application in server-side Xbasic, you must publish node services in a specific folder in your web project.

Cookies can be deleted by specifying their expiration date.

In general, search engine spiders and crawlers can see HTML, but not images, JavaScript, or Flash. Google's can do a little more, but don't count on it for all of them.

This document describes how you can do an Ajax callback from a hand-coded .a5w page in Alpha Anywhere.

Node modules can be downloaded and used in Alpha Anywhere web applications.

Listing cookies in a web application can be done using the Context.Request.Cookies object.

Xbasic offers quite a number of functions and methods for using the HTTP protocol to make various requests from web servers. Sending a RESTful request to a web service is becoming increasingly popular, but is not always as straightforward a s requesting a simple resource from a web server.

The content type cannot be set when using HTTP_POST() to POST data to a server. If the server expects a different Content-type header, HTTP_FETCH() can be used instead.

Individual portions of a component are emitted separately when embedded in an A5W page. You can omit portions of the component -- such as the Page Title for a UX Component or the Detail View for a Grid Component.

A node service can return binary data to an Xbasic script using optional attachments sent using the sendResponse() callback function.

You can manually set the status code in an Ajax response.

Web applications are inherently stateless. In practical application, however, you need to preserve state.

Below is a very basic server that you could expand to use multiple sockets and threads as required. It should give you a good starting point on how to use sockets in Xbasic. It does not implement any specific protocol on top of the sockets: that is left to you.
