[PEPr] Comment on HTML::Container

Nicolás Ozimica (http://pear.php.net/user/nozimica) has commented on the proposal for HTML::Container. Comment: I really didn't know Structures_DataGrid package. I reviewed it these days and looks very well. Indeed my package has many functionalities, very similar to the ones of that package. But I see the goals of both packages rather different: - HTML_Container is intended (as its category sais) as a way to show and manage data in HTML format. That's the reason why the 'actions' (when embedding form elements) are one of the key features of this package. Also is the feature to add a DataFilter, such as those of Excel. And too the effect 'activeRow', that displays an additional row with further info about the row that has been just clicked. - Structures_DataGrid, as I understood, has its goal on the managment of data, and so the HTML is only one of all the formats it handles. In order to give DataGrid a form element, one has to make a callback that returns that element. I think it's a little harder to just add an 'action'. Perhaps because the inclusion of form elements isn't a key feature of this package. By now, I've made HTML_Container able to manage paging. I'm going to update the examples and the source code... And I am thinking on making the columns sortable when clicked on its titles. Perhaps would be nice too... Thanks for your feedback. The idea is to see together if is worth enough to include HTML_Container as a package by itself, or is better to include some of its features as part of an already existing package, like Structures_DataGrid.
