Bob, Looks good. I have some changes that make the results even easier to use in a GUI web editor and that make the pages fail gracefully if javascript isn't working (it defaults to pictures). So far I've finished those changes (mostly to the templates) for the popin view. I am still working on the script button view. I'll send you the changes as soon as I can figure out where my "create patch" menu item has gone in Eclipse. It doesn't seem to be showing up in the menus for the Synchronize view.
