It is a mix of both. The editable fields are tinyMCE instances and the drag and drop functionality is heavily using jQuery UI. The lay-out management has been developed in-house. > Are there plans to include additional add/delete/sort paths, beyond > the current drag-and-drop-only UI?

Yes. You should already be able to automate the adding of elements (widgets, rows and columns). Row and column management can be done by using the dropdown menu on each row, and widgets can be added by double clicking on the widget icons in the inserter bar. This will be changed to a single click in the next release. The re-ordering of widgets and rows, as well as the re-sizing of columns is currently still relying on mouse controller. However, making this keyboard accessible is high on the priority list. Hope that helps, Nicolaas _______________________________________________ oae-dev mailing list [email protected] http://collab.sakaiproject.org/mailman/listinfo/oae-dev
