GWidgetsTopLevel-class: A toplevel object for a gWidgetsWWW2 app stores page-specific...

In jverzani/gWidgetsWWW2: Toolkit implementation of the gWidgets API for use with web pages

Description

The toplevel object for gWidgetsWWW2 apps stores page specific information. As there can potentially be several gwindow instances on a page (using renderTo), however all share the same toplevel instance. This instance holds a reference to the evaluation environment, the request that generates the page, the objects populating the page, and a queue for holding JavaScript commands (produced by method calls, say).

Details

The sharing of this toplevel object amongs each component is the reason why the constructors require a specification of either a container or parent argument.
