I've had excellent success wrapping most of Dojo with Wicket, and it would not be hard to complete the rest. There's a wicket-dojo project out there, but it didn't seem to be active, so I just started in on my own. Dojo is a comprehensive, well laid out project (always had a good concept of namespace and packaging, unlike most other javascript frameworks), with decent documentation. Browsers have a tendency to fire events in different orders, and when you start adding your own 'onxxx' functions, you can get unexpected behavior. My first guess would be that this is the cause of your problems in IE, as it seems to be particularly random in this regard. Dojo has its own, extensive, event framework, that corrects for these issues. If you want to look at my code, let me know and I'll send it your way.

However, there are some complaints that our components and pages look a bit bland. This has prompted us to look around at various alternatives. We tried using plain jQuery with wicket and found some odd behaviour here and there on Internet Explorer when using Ajax, which we never got to the bottom of. If I remember correctly it was the calendar appearing on first render which then disappeared and it would never reappear again. This has lead us to reassess our component situation. Having looked at the wiQuery demo site it doesn't fill me with confidence. Perhaps it is just the demo site that does not work well and is not an indication of the underlying library. The next library we are considering is Visural Wicket. It looks promising but it only seem to have one developer working on it. Otherwise we would probably look to something like YUI of which I have some experience but not with Wicket. It would take some investigating though to establish if it would have similar problems that we encountered with JQuery. Any advice or real world experience will be appreciated. Thanks, James. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
