I > get that, I am happy :) > <rant> Speaking entirely based on personal opinion - I *HATE HATE HATE* these browser-side UI elements. I have an operating system with a graphical user interface. The developers of that operating system spent an immense amount of time developing it, polishing it, making it behave in predictable ways, getting keyboard accessibility sorted out, and so on. The idea of a CSS+HTML+JS implementation of UI features that badly implement half of the behavior provided natively by the OS - and the idea that this implementation is somehow *preferable* to native UI elements - absolutely *boggles* my mind. Oh - and the "but you can't open native modal dialogs" counterargument? That's a *good* thing. No webpage can ever have a truly modal dialog, because I can open a new web page to the same URL, thereby violating the modality of your interface. Your server had better be able to handle non-modal interaction, or you're going to have a bad time. </rant> Yours Russ Magee %-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
