Hi all, I''m interested in having the following GUI features on my site: - Main menus - Context menus upon right clicking - Tabbed view I couldn''t find in the script.aculo.us documentation any indication that there is support for the above. Did I miss anything? If indeed there is no such support, can anyone recommend on a library that have it? Thanks a lot! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

If you''re into widgets, look at other frameworks, such as Dojo, Mochikit or the YUI Toolkit... Beware though: those are *massive*. Also note that: - tabbed views can be full CSS (and very small, trivial JS) - replacing context menus is considered bad practice (anti-accessible).

It''s true, some of the libraries you mention are "massive" but you only include the pieces that you want to include at runtime in the particular page. They are very engineered and very lightweight in implementation. That is, as far as implementation goes, libraries like DOJO are lightweight, because you''re only including on each page the widgets, or functions you need for that page. You don''t have to include the whole library to use any one particular piece. You can also use both Prototype and Dojo together, so it doesn''t have to be one or the other. Dojo has a tabbed view that works nicely, and also has Context-menus. Both Prototype and Dojo are awesome, imho it pays to know how to use both. cheers, Mark On 11/13/06, Christophe Porteneuve <tdd-x+CfDp/qHev2eFz/2MeuCQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > dotan a écrit : > > I''m interested in having the following GUI features on my site: > > - Main menus > > - Context menus upon right clicking > > - Tabbed view > > script.aculo.us is no widget library, although Autocompleter and > InPlaceEditor may be regarded as widgets...

Thanks! I was wondering whether to use the Prototype - Dojo combination, or a Prototype + script.aculo.us + library that supports menus, tabs. My main concern was the page load time. Currently my hunch is to go with the 1st combination, to keep it simple.
