Hi David,
thanks for the reply. i'm not too fussed about duplicating data at
the moment, so your first suggestion is a good one. once we get to a
production system for our exhibit'd data, then we will consider using
version 2... unless there are features in version 2 which may be
useful to us now... ;)
unfortunately, due to the security sensitive nature of the data we
are presenting, we can not provide you a url of our exhibit. :(
One feature of exhibit that i do like is the popup lenses that work
on the thumbnail views. is there a way i can make this work on the
Tabular view? ie if we click on a particular cell, then it will bring
up a bubble of other data. i've tried just copy and pasting the
relevant code into the Exhibit.TabularView for a ex:role="exhibit-
lens", but it doesn't work :(
also i'm not completely sure of the syntax of the lens reference:
does the <span ex:content="value".> always create a link to the popup
of the definition <div ex:role="exhibit-lens">? what if i want more
than one type of popup on the same page?
any advice would be much appreciated!
Yee.
