Martin,
I plan on giving this a shot..should have an answer back on
functionality within the workday. I'd love to make this an open source
component however I need to create the back end component and fix up the
code a great deal (not on the PHP side but my javascript is a mess). I'll
send you a personal email when it comes time for final packaging of the
component which I've never done before...could be a while I'm still getting
the hang of the JavaScript. Thanks very much for the offer, I'll be sure to
get back to you.
-Adam.
