Authors sometimes just want something usable. It doesn't matter if it is not stylable, or it doesn't fit in the UI. When they really need to start caring about such things, they can switch to use jQuery UI then. At least, some simple, tooling web apps do not need any styling at all. They just need something sensible enough to use. We should enable such usage without pushing them to use jQuery UI. (Actually, people could sometimes prefer the system UI rather than the custom things like jQuery UI.) - Xidorn _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
