Yep, I think CompoundWidget has a place outside forms too, for
example, the to-be-released AjaxGrid with pagination, filtering,
etc... It will probably combine buttons, select fields, textfields,
ajaxgrid, etc. into something like:
smart_list {
search_form {
....
}
ajaxgrid
}
I could place the grid inside the form but I don't think it belongs
there really. IMO it's really a compound widget with a form (that
GETs instead of POSTs) and an ajaxgrid that shows the results as
children.
I don't think its sole layout either because there could be many of
these in just one page. I's much cleaner to insert n of these in a
page than to put n forms + n grids in the same page template (and
sync their ids and various params so the JS knows which grid to
update and where to load the JSON from).
