So in trying to create the applet lens what i have right now is:
<!-- Thumbnail View -->
<div ex:role="exhibit-view"
ex:viewClass="Exhibit.ThumbnailView"
ex:showAll="false"
ex:orders=".designer"
ex:possibleOrders=".discipline">
<div ex:role="exhibit-lens" class="nobelist-thumbnail">
<img ex:src-content=".imageURL" />
<div><span ex:content=".label"></span></div>
<div><span ex:content=".discipline" class="year"></span></div>
<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>
</div>
So the applet lens is living inside the thumbnail lens. I know I have
to change the "ex:item-id-content=".id"" I'm assuming it should be the
label or whatever the title of the project is.
If this is confusing, feel free to suggest alternative syntaxes. Nothing
is carved in stone.
So it's probably not confusing for more Javascript inclined folk like
yourselves, I don't think i'm quite fully confused. it would be
interesting if it could be done in a way similar to how the img tag is
handled (ie. <img ex:src-content="" />). Perhpas something like:
<applet ex:height-content=".a" ex:width-content=".b"
ex:code-content=".c" ex:archive-content=".d"
ex:codebase-content=".e">
<param ex:name-content=".f" ex:value=".g" />
</applet>
and in some sort of schema.js file you can specify all the values that
appear across all of them, and the ex:value would go with each entry.
and then this can live inside your already made lens like an img tag, or
it code be put into a hidden div and using some AJAX tricks to make it
appear or disappear again. I know no one really uses java applets
anymore (well for things that flash can do better) so this syntax code
be used for flash as well:
<object ex:type-content=".a" ex:data-content=".b"
ex:width-content=".c" height=".d">
<param ex:name-content=".e" value=".f" />
<img ex:src-content=".g" ex:alt-content=".h"
ex:height-content=".i" ex:width-content=".j" /><!-- No Flash
Detected -->
</object>
This code was based on code from an article on A List Apart for
standards appropriate embedding of flash. Hopefully you get the idea.
But I do like the idea of being able to control elements like with the
img and being able to mostly dynamically control the various pieces of
the code with the exhibit/json databases.
