DHMTL -- Big Time sink
Last few days I have been trying to integrate AutoCompleter using scriptaculous and DWR.
Even though Java script has come a long way with all these libraries, but DHTML is still a big time sink.
These are the few issues I found:
1. Dynamic div for autocompleter not aligining properly with the text box on IE. It happens only when dynamic div is contained in relative div.
2. IE over lapping problems with div and select.
There may be similar problems with other java script libraries too. Also, I am sure there must be some work around to get past these problems, but look at the time spent to solve them. Is it really worth spending so much of time? I know everybody is trying to jump on Web 2.0 bandwagon but I don't think we are ready yet to build some real business applications ...
