So, I would create some key/values in a JSON database specifying various
Applet components (.applet-codebase, .applet-param, etc. I'm assuming
some of the other values like height, width, code, archive etc. can be
done in the same way) and then create a lens template to construct the
applet?
JSON:
{applet-codebase : "http://some.obscure.link/here";,
applet-param : "http://the.param.link/here";,
applet-code : "zoom2dapplet"'
applet-archive : "zoom2dapplet.jar"}
and then create an exhibit lens:
<div ex:role="exhibit-lens" ex:item-id-content=".id"
ex:applet-codebase-content=".applet-codebase"
ex:applet-param-content=".applet-param">
...
<button ex:onclick="makeApplet(this.parentNode)">Show Applet</button>
...
</div>
this is the part that mostly confuses me... what's the difference
between "ex:applet-codebase-content" and "ex:content". and i'm to
assume that the function makeApplet is not a part of Exhibit :) and can
this exhibit lens be inserted into the current lens for thumbnail or
detail view? kinda like a sub lens? Thanks.
Cheers,
