Subject: Re: Widget-like API for DOM objects?

Dan

I can give you this: http://scm.ywesee.com/?p=htmlgrid

However, this was one of my very first ruby-projects and basically needs
a complete rewrite.. Some of the reasons:
- Geared towards Table-Layout, hence the 'grid'
- tight coupling to http://scm.ywesee.com/?p=sbsm which is a
state-based session-manager
- meta-programming by configuration-constants
- naming conventions changed in mid-project
- nonexistant documentation

That said, if you want to try it out and help me get the priorities for
a next version straight, you're more than welcome to do so and I hereby
pledge my support - which you'll probably need ;)

Cheers
Hannes
