As an example, i have been trying to create Wicket Menu bar component by trying to reduce my effort to something close to Swing
I am not talking of something like echo2 now, I am talking of all those common stuffs in web development packaged in a cross browser reusable wicket components.
MenuBar bar = new MenuBar("web-app-menu", ...)
MenuBar will be a customizable markupcontainer that will have vertical drop down capabilities
Menus and MenuItem will simply be Wicket Links instances.
My major headache started when i realized how horrible CSS can be across IE breeds and Mozilla and other browsers, IE expecially so i spent more time trying to sort out making cross browser CSS vertical menus for my wicket project. Now that should not be because for me if wicket were to fulfil its vision, developers should spend more time with Java than cracking thier heads on how to do common stuffs with CSS or _javascript_.
Therefore I think encouraging widgets contribution will also be fine. I am not a cross browser CSS expert but there a lot out there willing to donate reusable CSS codes for creating common widgets on the browser
Scrolling
MenuBar
etc...
Anyway for me, it boils down to one thing,
I am trying to create MenuBar, Menu and MenuItem for my project and i need cross browser CSS for vertical drop down menu,
Something like this
<div wicket:id="MenuBar" class="menubar">
<ul>
<li wicket:id="Menu"><a wicket:id="MenuItem"></a></li>
<li wicket:id="MenuSeperator"></li>
<li wicket:id="Menu"><a wicket:id="MenuItem"><img wicket:id="MenuImage"></img></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
But i am scared of the CSS hell out there and i dont even know where to start digging for good cross browser CSS to use for this, so please who has a reference to the CSS library that can make this life easy
Thanks :)
