Special thanks again to David Lindquist for adding a new feature in the most recent release of ColumNav 1.0, which is the ability for ColumNav widget to load arbitrary HTML in one of its columns. This feature can really enrich the widget to go beyond a tree listing of menu items. Yes. You can certainly […]
Read more "First impression about ColumNav 1.0"One thing about writing AJAX calls is that you are limited to calling the same server for security reasons. To work around this issue, I gave this proxy a try and it worked for me and saved me time writing my own. The follow-up questions I have about this proxy implementations are: 1. It’s only […]

Read more "Implementing my own rating AJAX widget"I attempted to to follow this documentation to add a preview panel. I couldn’t get my instance to adopt the preview panel behavior.
