[Seaside] [SeasideXUL] How to move changes from Editable Tree to Component

[Milan Zimmermann]

Hi Pavel,

Thanks. I will give it a few weeks and try to build a mini-framework around 
the tree that would allow move changed cells (well, will start will the whole 
tree) back to server via XMLHttpRequest, and merge changes back to the 
Component that generated it. I may ask some questions how to integrate what I 
plan to do.  If I fail, I can do a form per edited row... I am trying to use 
SeasideXUL on my next project, and most likely will need a editable table. 

Thanks Milan
