Ok makes sense

Thanks for the pointer. I really should explore before I start coding...
I also discovered that FormExample has been updated with a later library in
JQueryWidgetBox. For anyone else who is listening you can download it with:

Gofer new
squeaksource: 'JQueryWidgetBox';
package: 'JQWidgetBox-Core';
package: 'JQWidgetBox-Dev';
package: 'JQWidgetBox-FormExample-Core';
package: 'JQWidgetBox-FormExample-Dev';
load.
JQWidgetExample initialize.

or:

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfJQueryWidgetBox) project version: '1.0')
load: 'JQWidgetBox-FormExample-Core';
load: 'JQWidgetBox-FormExample-Dev'.


and browse to: http://localhost:8080/jquery-widgets/formexample

Thanks again

Nick
