It works!

Hi everybody,

Want to see a decently working NetWindows pseudo application? Visit

http://www.panyasan.de/bibliograph

At least it works for me (Mozilla, Windows XP), tell me if you have
troubles. 

Please try out both Data ways: Database (which is a simulation from cache)
and Filesystem. The filesystem mode is realized with the PEAR::HTML_TreeMenu
Class, which, however, has some problem with NW - for some reason the
expand/collapse mechanism does not work).

You can click on the branches on the left to display a table of references
on the right. If you then click on a table row, the particular reference
pops up. (I need to make some mouse-over-change background effect).

I think I did a decent job with the "wait while loading problem". Before a
page is loaded, a popup window is displayed. This popup window gets removed
by a script attached at the end of the page being loaded. I also made sure
there were popups during the start-up process, so that the user knows that
NW is being loaded and the system is still alive... ;-) Alex, do you have
artistic friends? I think it would be time to design a logo that could be
shown during startup. 

There are some problems remaining, however. 

- the window with the individual reference has no scrollbar and I can't get
it to have one.
- it also does not resize
- the buttons for minimize, maximize and close display no image
- when moving, there are weird black boxes and the screen flickers (which is
a problem of Mozilla), I suppose. 
- resizing the split pane only works in one direction
- the table headers have no image for sort order
- theme 'orange' is actually grey brown ;-)
- some very weirds javaScript message: "Fehler: uncaught exception:
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsITransferable.getAnyTransferData]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/nsTransferable.js :: anonymous :: line 130"  data:
no]" 
I guess this is a Mozilla bug.
