That's not necessarily true. The most basic widgets in TurboGears do incorporate the Kid template in the code, but they do not have to. A widget developer can either embed the template (the way the form widgets do) or use an external template (the way the DataGrid widget does). > Read this imaginary scenario. > > Suppose you just finished your TG application (that include a lot of > widgets and kid templates), you start your application in "designer" > mode (something TG don't support yet, this will start your application > for real and a kind of TG toolbox on another port that give access to > the kid templates and widgets definition by ftp or webdav).

I'm curious--in your experience, is it usual to have the application developer and the web designer so rigidly separated? I've never run across it in any web-based development project I've worked on. > But the main idea of this post is that TG cannot solve alone the widget > dilemma. It seems to me that the problem widgets solve is very different from what you're trying to accomplish. It almost seems as if you're asking for a whole different system, which is driven from the visual design side of the world rather than an overall application design.

I agree... that's what the existing widgets try to do: simplify the most common cases by eliminating the HTML coding and automatically hooking up display and validation. What's your definition of a "crazy thing"? -- Tim Lesher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
