I proposed this some time ago. But as Adrian pointed >The collapsible search options screenlet idea came from the Find Party screen. >That capability has been there since I first got >involved in the project. So, it's not like I'm trying to introduce something >new, I was just trying to make it more automatic - via >a screenlet widget. We should note that it's not the most common way to do this sort of thing (tabs are). I think there are at least 2 reasons for this: . it recalls a "real-life" artifact (people grab them faster) . it's more ergonomic (less clutter) I think we really should introduce a tab concept in OFBiz using an existing Ajax feature. I only suggest and have no time to work on it right now... Jacques
