I've produced a proposal for a CSS Scripting Layout specification. I've extended Chrome as a sample implementation. Of course, it relies heavily on v8 and I have gleaned a lot of useful knowledge from this group over the course of its development.
I think it is a novel use of v8 and may be of interest to v8 developers. at the core is a constraint satisfaction system that requires a high degree of v8 reentrancy. I'd like to hear feedback from this community. TIA http://blogs.eforceglobal.com/dkarisch/archive/2009/07/16/536.aspx < CSS Scripting Layout... a new set of CSS properties and object specifications that together compose a powerful declarative means to describe complex arbitrary layout criteria that are both reusable and extensible. The new properties are Javascript expressions that are woven together in a constraint resolving system to perform a specified layout. Additionally, a set of global objects defined in the constraint resolution Javascript execution environment enable powerful operations to be expressed succinctly resulting in more readable and compact layout specifications. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
