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...
I'm not able to picture what you and David are proposing. If someone
could post a small example to Jira, or give me a link to a web page
that has an example, then I'm sure it will be an easy task for me to
add it into the screenlet widget.
Basically instead of having two screenlets one above the other have a
single screenlet with two divided text areas, ie "tabs", one for
options and the other for results. There would be one bottom area that
changes depending on which tab has been clicked on most recently. The
bottom would actually be 2 divs but one of the two would be hidden at
any given time. This isn't _really_ an "AJAX" thing as it would not
imply any background/asynchronous server communication (though that
would be neat too, to update results and paginate and such without
reloading the page). Anyway, this is already done in the WebTools
Entity Data Maintenance page for view/edit and entity record.
