Re: [Gmod-ajax] Openlazlo

[Ian H. <ih...@be...>]

I did look at OpenLaszlo very cursorily a few months back and concluded 
that we were doing too much custom stuff with the UI to take much 
advantage of it. Same as with Google Web Toolkit. I don't think that a 
genome browser breaks down neatly into the standard set of widgets that 
are used for most Ajax apps. But that is not a very well-informed 
opinion; perhaps a Google Maps-type widget is lurking out there that's 
exactly what we need (though I doubt any available toolkit can do the 
scary things that Mitch is currently trying with tracks built entirely 
out of DIVs)
