I get it! Hopefully this will be a great weekend, I am really going
to tear into what Andy has accomplished and see if I can rig up
something just a little more transparent.
What I see is a pattern with a page having an attribute of X and
then a widget for X that has a rule watching the parameter X. That
works well (again my deliberate withholding of Cells doc fails to
stop an adopter!) but I want to see if we can simply create a widget
named X and have it all Just Work, eliminating what is not all that
bad, viz., creating a parallel slot on the page instance. But that
trick might get exciting if we get into arrays/lists where a page
has two Xs as children -- well, it could be handled, but why not
automate that?
It gets trickier because we want a two-way exchange here -- maybe we
have a c?n rule which when suitably provoked calculates a new
initial default based on the user selecting an entirely new
something-else in some other field. So sometimes when a value
changes the Lisp model must be told, and sometimes the ajax model
must be told.
I think sorting /this/ out will make for a more interesting weekend
and possibly have me extending Cells a little.
Exactly what I'm after - man, if we can get this done then we have THE
killer app for Cells!
Yup - so let's hack away ...
