The current FarCry 5.3 roadmap includes a complete overhaul of formtools to standardise on jQuery (currently FarCry internals are a mix of extJS, prototype and jQuery). The Gods willing this will include: - jquery formtools standardisation (although its likely they will have a similar look by default) - a jQuery based validation framework (Jeff's suggested plugin is under consideration) - jQueryUI (http://jqueryui.com/) abstraction for theming (at least in the project, if not the webtop) - the ability to load and reference your own jQuery library into a nominated namespace (in case you have jQuery goings on that conflict with standard FarCry behaviour) - a new library picker with a variety of skinning and filtering options Mat has already pioneered much of this work. With the main code line clear of 5.2 and barring any last minute road map changes, we should see these beginnings in trunk by the end of the month. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message cos you are subscribed to "farcry-dev" Google group.
