Just a side bar question. Does FlexJS use any type of html5/css reset files for setting up default formatting?

That’s why there are button components that thinly wrap the HTML button element. You can pay-as-you-go and select heavier buttons that allow more complex skinning and/or styling. I thought we’d be able to leverage the browser’s layout code for vertical and horizontal layout. The current version sets the children to display:block or display:inline-block. That’s much less code than running a loop on the children, figuring out margins, left/right constraints, etc, and therefore less code to write, debug and maintain. But these days, I’m starting to wonder if one of the benefits of FlexJS will be in the availability of layouts that pretty much use position:absolute to control everything. There are lots of funky rules and workarounds for how browsers deal with display:inline-block, for example. Anyway, I’m wondering if there is anything, besides performance, we might give up by giving up on display:inline-block and writing our own horizontal layout. Thoughts? -Alex
