-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
Tapestry has a tree component, but it focuses on one specific way of using trees. In the project I am currently working on, we would like to use trees in a different way. So I got down and started creating a tree component, open sourcing it: http://github.com/arnohaase/t5-tree.git It is far from finished, but since I am fairly new to both Tapestry, JavaScript and web programming in general, I would much appreciate all kinds of feedback. So, here is a short overview of what the component library (currently) offers: * an explicit hierarchy of tree nodes as separate elements in the .tml file * works with or without integration into a form * native tri-state checkboxes at every level, higher levels being automatically updated when lower levels are changed * A recursively ("true") tree component that takes a slightly different approach from the standard tree component, allowing client code to specify which parts of the tree are transferred to the browser "eagerly" and which parts are only transferred via AJAX when the respective node is opened. The components are stylable via CSS (did I strike a good balance here? This is something I am particularly keen on getting feedback on!). They are built on top of jQuery (with tapestry5-jquery). There are plenty of rough edges. One especially rough edge I am aware of is the verbose usage of JavaScript - I plan on cleaning that up. So - does this approach look helpful to others? Are there any suggestions for doing things differently? Efficiency concerns? Thank you for taking the time to read this verbose mail, and if you take the time to look at the code, thank you very very much! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+9VY8ACgkQbmZsMyUPuXQP9QCfRjMm1UV3pplkaWfnsXCA/lwj cm4AoL40N4EcSthiIe0VG9HDWqYSl7Nu =Ew5e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
