So awhile back I created a a DHTML Shuttle Object in HTML DB just using standard page objects and some hand coded HTML and javascript. While really nice there were three glaring issues.
- To get it working was a pretty hands on affair.
- It was really only coded up to to create one shuttle in a page.
- Missing sorting options.
So I decided to create a plsql procedure based version that takes care of those issues. example: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:27
Looks like HTML DB might have outgrown the official forums and it spread to a user run wiki, every good software proiduct deserves it's own user wiki :).
http://wiki.shellprompt.net/htmldb
I think this is a pretty promising development as it will provide a central location for HTML DB developers to share tips/tricks/pitfalls/code. I really like the browsable aspect of wikis as you learn things about a product or how to use it that you never might have found or even thought about.
Anyway now it's just a matter of getting that content up there. I'm starting my contribution by digging through the forums and look at the questions that I keep having to answer over and over and trying to get them in the wiki in a decent format.
Thanks to John at http://shellprompt.net for the hosting.
