Leigh, I have to disagree with this: at least the way I look at it, if an element is called xforms:dialog, it should provide functionality resembling what dialogs have been about for the last 30 years. We should not try to make this feature cover portlets, windows, or other concepts which resemble but are not actually dialogs. -Erik On Jun 24, 2009, at 11:47 AM, Klotz, Leigh wrote: > I think we should not be narrowly focused when adding language > features, and it's quite likely that people will use modeless > dialogs as containers for interactive content. > Leigh. > > -----Original Message----- > From: public-forms-request@w3.org [mailto:public-forms- > request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Erik Bruchez > Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 8:21 PM > To: Forms WG > Subject: Re: Some questions about dialogs > > You mean using dialogs as portlets?
