Hello,

wanted to let you know about a new snippet:

Asynchronous (Non-Blocking) User Interaction

JavaScript’s commands to interact with the user (alert, confirm, prompt) 
are extremely limited and they have a very nasty side-effect: they block 
the UI and all javascript processes, such as redrawing the layout, rpc 
requests, etc.

Here is a mixin for qx.application.Gui that provides the following methods:

    *
      inform : inform the user
    *
      alert : warn the user
    *
      confirm: let the user confirm something
    *
      offer : give the user a set of choices
    *
      prompt : let the user enter some text

All functions are non-blocking and therefore require a callback function 
that is called when the user has reacted to the information presented.

http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.7/snippets/asynchronous_user_interaction

I was hoping for a long time someone else would be writing this mixin 
;-) but now I needed it for my application because the 
alert/prompt/confirm functions caused a lot of problems for timeouts etc...

Feel free to improve the code....

Enjoy,
Christian
