Hi Victor,

Nef has had a look at this, and unfortunately there are two issues.
Firstly, it need quite a bit of work to get it working fully.  As Nef
says, "it doesn't work out of the box".  The other issue is it uses a
different js library than our usual.  We are reluctant to use another
library, it's a lot easier for us to maintain things if they are
consistent.

It's a nice looking feature, but it looks like it would take too much
time to convert it for our use.  I certainly hope we can keep the
functionality in mind though, and maybe add it to future feature
developments.

Regards,
