[OFBiz] Dev - DinamicTable - JavaScript

[Marcelo Coraça de Freitas]

Al,

    I realy liked the idea of JSRS and also that dinamic window stuf you talked
about.
    Maybe there is no need to deal with those windows if we use JSRS, but,
anyway, I've made a code that could be usefull to us last year.
        http://www.linux.ime.usp.br/~batera/ofbiz/float/teste.html

    It's in portuguese, but the idea was to build some classes in JavaScript to
work with floating div's (layers) that would work in Mozilla and Explorer. I've
previously tested in konqueror and it worked also - I don't know about Opera,
but I don't think it would be dificult to make it compatible with that browser.
    With this class we could make a dinamic window easily.

    Also, that was my idea, but I first whanted to make this table work. And,
also, whe integrating with OFBiz I think it would be a lot easier using dinamic
windows instead of real windows.


    Tomorrow, if I have some time - I'm working at a customers place - I'll work
integrating (at least trying) this job to *widgets.
