I don't believe I was being unfriendly. This is mailing list
explicitly related to building the Apache Flex SDK. Your experiences /
pains on building HTML apps has no place here. Nor does a debate on the
merits of HTML/JavaScript Frameworks.
I'm not saying discussions on HTML or related frameworks are bad; this
just isn't the place for venting nor recommendations.

With all due respects; we're glad you like Flex and some of it's
simplicity; but as this conversation has nothing to do with
development of Flex SDK; can you please take it elsewhere?

Flex is not one-size-fit-all technology and slowly you should
get used to it.

Hi,
I don't know where to share my thoughts. As a hard-core
flex developer i just dump my thoughts here.
Yesterday, i started to build a web app using HTML.
As a
first step i tried to build a layout. I don't have anything
special. below is my layout.
After a long struggle i designed and positioned my
header
correctly. Then i came to my main page which contains 3
containers. If it is flex, i will code like this,
<mx:HGroup id="grp" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Group id="grp1" width="300px" height="100%"></mx:Group>
<mx:Group id="grp2" width="100%" height="100%"></mx:Group>
<mx:Group id="grp3" width="300px" height="100%"></mx:Group>
<mx:HGroup>
Above code will take less than a minute and should work
perfectly in all browsers as i think. But you know guys i am
trying above layout for a day in HTML. still i didn't get
it correct.
Usually in flex,
grp2.width = grp.width - grp1.width - grp3.width.
But in HTML,
grp2.width = grp.width. How good it is? i don't
know.
And another thing, i tried to layout 3 div's inside another div
horizontally. That is also really painful.
i tried float, display and lot more options. Nothing helps
me to
get it right in all browsers. I know it is easy with Table.
but i
should do it with divs.
Hundreds of libraries there in JavaScript. But
really
nothing contains that number of good components and layout
features like Flex. I really hate programming in a day.
_* NOTE: Please don't reply with any HTML codes.*_ I will
continue and succeed on Monday anyway. It is just a story,
how a
flex developer struggles to migrate to HTML because
of HTML5 storm.
Happy Weekend!!!!!
