Ok, I tried these out and the window manager is pretty cool. Good for
controlling a list of windows, for a forum, or something.
The downside is that you seem to have to give the window manager full
control over the windows, if you try to do something manually to a window,
like adding draggability, it isn't controlled by the window manager anymore.
Do you have to build all the needed functions into the manager, or am I
doing something wrong?
The simpleevent is easy, and, ironically, closely resembles what Pascal was
doing in his skinbutton widgets. This approach was later dropped in favor of
event listeners, but it's true they add less complicated code to your page,
although if you have a lot of layers with a click event, it would be more
economical to use one event listener for all of them.
Nice stuff anyway.
Richard.
