Hello Anthony,
I am trying to do something bizzard... I would like to have your advice if
it's even possible :
represent=lambda value, row: (value!=None and XML(UL(*[ LI(v) for v in
value.split('/') if v != '' ]))) or 'None'
I would like the default navigator drop box to display html stuff is this
possible?
Thanks
Richard
