Magritte-Scriptaculous

Dear all, The magritte-scriptaculous and magritte-realmemento packages allow generated form components to dynamically change as the values or selections made by the user change. For example, the list of options in a SelectListComponent can be supplied through an accessor, and the visibility of a field can be determined by the value obtained via an accessor. descriptionMyChoice ^ MASingleOptionDescription new accessor: (#choice asAccessor) options: #choiceOptions; The accessor framework has been extended to provide a clean and easy to use means for specifying "alternate accessors for other purposes". Other purposes supported include: #visible: #readonly: #cssClass: #tooltip: #options: #update: The model class must specify a MARealMemento for this to work. The real memento uses a real copy of the model object as a memento, so that the memento model retains behaviour, particularly the interactions between attributes. This allows an #isMyFieldVisible to depend upon the value of a another field which may change. The form is re-rendered using scriptaculous updates, if the components request it. I have to say that what started out as a bit of an experiment has been surprisingly successful, and I think it represents a significant step up in the abilities of magritte. I am about to go live in the next couple of days on my first commercial project which uses this stuff. best regards Keith
