I was seeing some strange visual presentation after I installed the
latest version of the widgets. So i downloaded the woodstock source
from CVS and built it and the example program. Running the example
programs I see some of the same strange visual presentation.
Basically what I am seeing is that when a page is rendered, the page
show a small version of what is going to be displayed, and then it
appears that the widgets are rendered, bringing the page to its final
state. Take for example, any of the table examples. When the page
renders, the table is a squished up and with very thin areas
representing the rows and then the table is finally rendered at the
correct size with the rows in tack.
This is a pretty disconcerting visual presentation seeing the widgets
render in such a fashion. This is really noticeable when you have
something like a tabbed pane with tables on each tab being displayed.
Changing from tab to tab is pretty ugly I must say.
Is this the way that it is supposed to be? Can something be done to
eliminate this ugliness?
I want to move the the new widgets and I'm am actually feeling that I
must to get the new ajax functionality that I need in a few places but
when I show the boss what this looks like, he is probably going to have
a bird.
