It doesn't seem to be possible to use dataoption="lazy" with a datacombobox, is this a feature or could you please solve this issue? The datacombobox uses lists (floating lists) just scrolling up and down in a clipped view. Using <datacombobox menuclassname="basefloatlist"... reduces the bloat but still for a 100 item combobox it's very very slow because replication is not lazy. Slow in init(), slow in destroy(), in all runtimes. Having looked into this component (datacombobox), somebody really tried to showcase the class structure of openlaszlo it seems.
Couldn't dhtml just use native html components once in a while? Shouldn't these components be hell lot better for any competition with other emerging web toolkits? It's the basics, maybe custom components were hip before but normal these days. Performance is more critical, especially for dhtml. I could create my own components but these are the basics, who wants to recreate the wheel? Maybe a new project to gather forces and create some hot components would be nice, putting together the open community. The Japanese seem to have done some good job putting togther some components. But I don't understand how people can live with the basics crippled??? Don't these components really need a rewrite? Thanks for listening, Can
