-Original Message- At the moment the themes/controls are working only with javascript, however it is possible to write a script-free theme. Of course in that case you will not have the full functionalltiy of the components (e.g. columnresizing in the sheet). The advantage is, that you can run the application in both versions (themes) without changing your application code. Even a user dependend selection of the suitable theme is possible. -/Original Message- That's REALLY good news. What is your timeframe for the opening of the source? The tabbing component might save me quite some development time... regards Alexander

Hi, thanks for your feedback. At the moment the themes/controls are working only with javascript, however it is possible to write a script-free theme.

Re: Contribution of component library planned, live demo availabl e
Hi! What I like less: JavaScript usage I don't like JavaScript too. But the focus of the current themes in Tobago is to write web applications with a look and feel like a desktop application. We want to provide as much confort for the user as possible. So we can't drop that stuff. (But like I said before, there are JavaScript-free themes possible.) Sheet-Component: After quite a bit of talks with endusers, I consider it important that the sheet will be set to the first page, after sorting. Thats right. We will change that. regards Udo
Re: Contribution of component library planned, live demo availabl e
There are sometimes situations when such a switch is not possible, all you can do is to program the component non intrusive so that it basically does not do anything if such a switch is triggered.

Re: Contribution of component library planned, live demo availabl e
The problem I see with no javascript is, that you simply cannot get some of the advanced stuff many projects simply want without it. The other problem with the usage of javascript is, that you run into legal issues in some project (browser issues are less a problem if you can rely on having properly tested components) So neither way is optimal.
