ashbb,
i don't _need_ multiple windows... but i did want to use them. Thanks for
the sample code (and screenshots!)
My takeaway from this thread is that shoes treats child windows more like
red headed stepchild windows :) Url navigation from a child window requires
some acrobatics. One thing you can't do it seems is to put a link on a
child page that goes to a place defined on the parent. For example in the
following code getting the child window to go to neverland cant happen,
right?
#!/usr/bin/env open -a Shoes.app
class Bummer < Shoes
url "/", :index
url "/cleveland", :cleveland
url "/neverland", :neverland
def index
stack do
para link("go to cleveland", :click => "/cleveland")
end
end
def cleveland
window :title => "cleveland", :width =>200, :height=>200 do
stack do
para link("go to neverland", :click => "/neverland")
end
end
visit "/"
end
def neverland
para "cherries, syrup, puppies"
end
end
Shoes.app :title => "bummer"
I suppose not doing much with multiple windows follows from the decision to
make shoes 'web-like'. Anyway, thanks for all the multi window tips and
tricks. I'm sure they will come in handy, but in the end I think that
because of the way url and link work I'm stuck just using one window for url
style navigation.
