With all this talk going on about the Remote Table Model, I think that the
on-line demo should be renamed. It is called "Table with remote table model"
when in reality it is using a Simple table model and when you add rows it's
not getting them remotely, it's getting the data from a local function. I
feel jipped! I went there looking for sample code and found that it is all
an illusion.
http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser/#table-Table_Remote_Model.html
That is the demo that needs to be renamed.
Thanks,
Jim
