Project Description
A generator for providing HTML parts of an HTML page for being able to produce grid managed rendering/layout using Javascript and YUI library, by supporting Javascript widgets within pages. This includes a javascript event handler function being called when resizing a window for calculating the sizes of the grid cells in the grid rows and columns. There should be use of <div> tags and css style info for providing the the appropriate layout parts. There should be javascript functions, which allow using the call syntax as in Tcl grid manager and there must be a function for putting the different parts to be placed in the grid cells into that structure. The generator will be used to produce layouts from infos, which are stored in a database table in a tree structure with a meta syntax, which allows to either produce a TK layout or a HTML layout for a "normal" Web browser.
