ok, here we go again another step towards the data-grid kinda thing.

+1 for this. Even if there are still a few steps to go before getting to the data-grid, I think this is the kind of component that needs a lot of evolution before getting to it's final form, and having it in pear is a necessary first step so that people can play with it and improve on it.

May be the name is discussable, but since it is clearly HTML-centered I think/hope it is ok.

I think it doesn't belong into HTML. If the objective is to end up with a DataGrid, then Application_DataGrid or something like that might be more appropriate. What do you think?

well to answer both statements in one: the package I proposed is meant to be one of the components which might end up as a data-grid kinda thing. i just used the term 'data-grid' to use a common term, may be i shouldnt have done that :-) if i think about it for a second then i could imagine a data-grid application/tool/component to consist of the following packages, DB/MDB - for data source access DB_QueryTool/DB_DataObject - for easy DB-access HTML_QuickForm - for editing the data in HTML-forms HTML_PageHandler - for managing the different actions (save, remove ...) Validate - to validate the entered data before saving/updating still missing (whatever they might be named): SearchHandler - which makes the data searchable SortHandler - to sort the data on certain columns ot other criteria DisplayHandler - which controls the representation of the data and may be at some (later) step an interface which lets you define how to use those different packages to (auto-)create such a datagrid component... what i just want to say is that i think the datagrid thing might become a PEAR-component (or application) one day which is made out of multiple packages. and HTML_PageHandler (in my eyes) is not meant to be the final datagrid package, just a little piece of the whole just my thoughts on that -- Wolfram ... translating template system ... http://os.visionp.de/modules/project/HTML_Template_Xipe .. authentication system .... http://sf.net/projects/auth ... and more at .... http://opensource.visionp.de
