I want to get elements updated by JavaScript in Nim.

Is it possible?

Probably use Long polling, right?

Thank you for reply!

"setTimeout" can get JavaScript's change elements?

Long pooling is not about updating elements. It is a technic to emulate sending message from server to client.

There's no official API to do that.

So a trick is used, Browser does AJAX call to Server, and Server holds that call until he has something to say to the client.

By change elements you mean to manipulate the DOM, yes. But also check Karax too https://github.com/pragmagic/karax

Thank you for your reply!

I think Karax is JavaScript frame work. So I don't think it can make an windows application.

I want to monitor the HTML that is updated by JavaScript. I want to display it in GUI. Like wnim, nigui, etc...
