So qooxdoo is not able to suck in some DOM elements and create a menu out of it. Instead the DOM elements are created during the layout process. What might be a solution for you is to let Django create a configuration (e.g. in JSON) which is added to your page and then use this configuration to build the menu in a generic way. Just a thought, don't know if this really fit your needs. > I don't want to go the full RIA route at this point because it would require > a lot of changes to my application and I don't want to continue down the > JQuery route because the UI widgets are a mess.

I hope you find a way using qooxdoo along with your current application. cheers, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
