Re: nanotree

would {HTML_TREE} fit the bill a little better? I don't like the idea of this type of functionality being driven by nanotree's design. It makes good sense to use it for the implementation, but a more general design is likely the way to go for such a pervasive tool. Besides, it would be a good idea to have a container type (at least for the data) that could support multiple menu layouts. >From nanotree.js: * You have to set a container element, this is the >element in which the tree will be. Sounds like you can have multiple container elements. To follow-up on Monte's point, I disagree with bundling TOO much as part of the core distro. Perhaps seperate (but supported?) performance packs? I can see Smarty branching in several directions and I think bundling 3rd party tools with the main distro might stifle and even hinder that. On-the-other-hand, having bundled packs of targetted plugins could both give a kicker to users and also result in more focused support from insterested groups. Besides, getting in the business of distributing JS libraries is not fun. Competition is also hard to gauge. I also thought that this site http://webfx.eae.net/ had excellent JS, for example. Also on the point of bundling, it might discourage third parties (commercial and otherwise) from trying to integrate their tools with Smarty if they see a competitor packaged right into the distro. I'd love to encourage developers to use templates instead of hardboiling HTML in their products. Speaking of bundling, where is overlib these days? I seem to have lost track of my copy and it doesn't seem to be included in the distro anymore. ?? Lastly, I finally took another peek at Pear now that it has "full" Windows support and I am feeling a lot less brittle towards it. Would it be a good idea to look there first before looking for other 3rd party libraries? For example, the pear::var_dump looked promising as a tool for the debug window support....
