Having written that, I found my interest in SeeSaw returning. Since then
I've dusted down a new version I'd prepared but which had lain unreleased
for over a year. It was to fix a bug, but I wasn't entirely happy with my
overly-complicated resolution, so kept holding off releasing it. I'm glad I
did, as on reflection I've decided that the bug wasn't a bug after all but
a matter of interpretation of behaviour. Nevertheless, I've decided to put
out a new release because I'd also made what I thought were worthwhile
improvements; it is available from MacroMarket. There's one minor feature
addition, but a change in the generated HTML has led to a simplification
(and near 50% reduction) of the JavaScript code, which now allows SeeSaw to
be applied to any HTML element, e.g. to tables through MoinMoin markup
(using tableclass, rowclass and class).
Further, I've taken the examples that were available at
http://seesaw.ncl.ac.uk, revised them and bundled them into a set of
ready-to-use pages that can be slotted into any wiki. They can be
downloaded from SeeSaw's MacroMarket page.
When I ran t <http://seesaw.ncl.ac.uk>he demonstration site, I used to
check SeeSaw against all versions of MoinMoin from 1.6, but only because
that was the version in use at my workplace when I started it. I no longer
see a need for that to be done. Therefore, as it doesn't seem such an
onerous task to check against future releases of MoinMoin and jQuery using
my own setup, which I've just done with 1.9.7 and 1.9.1 respectively, I'm
reversing my decision and will continue to keep a watching brief. I don't
have plans for any more development; maybe SeeSaw has too many features as
it is.
