Thanks for the feedback. I'm just trying to get a feel for what the community thinks of this ambitious project.
My goals are simple initially: - I want a table based widget that didn't butcher the table markup by breaking off the header/footer as I've seen other css based solutions do. - I want a common set of events so that other plugins could know when something changed and do their corresponding cleanup. - I want an easy way to get this functionality without needing 10 different javascript files and 10 different method calls to set it all up. Also, John suggested I look to the UI library for solutions, so I'd like to investigate the resizeable inside the UI library. --Josh On 8/13/07, Glen Lipka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We had a test a while back that was changing a CSS class versus a series > of dom elements. > http://www.sunsean.com/animatetest.html > > I was thinking about your column resizing.
