Mark, I see that the JS library is needed (and I see you included it in the TGextJS distribution), but did not see it referenced in the Python domain. Just because I got curious, I commented out the Python YUI imports and so far nothing has broken.
I hear you about the the insufficiency of documentation on JS and widgets in general in the TG project. I'm working my way up the learning curve on the various widget implementations right now, and I am having to read entirely too much source code to get relatively simple things figured out. To quote from the TG philosophy, "If it isn't documented, it doesn't exist is a good rule of thumb." Using that rule, there are a lot of missing pieces to TG and its associated components. I think the tool has a lot of potential, but part of what I am doing right now it to evaluate it as a development framework is to figure out if this tool can be used by garden variety professional developers, who do not have the time or inclination to go digging for features and usage information, or the tool is still in the "enthusiast" phase and requires understanding the internals of the tool to be usable. So far, the latter view seems to be winning. Tom W-Mark Kubacki wrote: > Tom wrote: > >> In trying to use TGextJS I get an error because the base widget code is >> trying to import TGYUI.
