From: Nathan Andelin
I lean more toward creating a few light-weight components of my
own that implement essential UI behaviors, but implement most
of the presentation layer in HTML...

It's probably a good indication that interest in a thread is waning when one begins responding to himself, but it helps me clarify my thinking to write, while in R&D mode.

I'm working on a light-weight component to assist with dynamically building and working with tables. And my goal is to use it in database maintenance applications, for record navigation and selection.

As an intermediate step, I modified the Person inquiry example that I shared a few weeks ago. It now shows a list of people in a table that enables record selection and navigation options:

When a user selects one or more rows, the row number is stored in an internal array, which I envision using to implement multi-record maintenance options such as editing or deleting selected entries. This is an alternative to embedding a check-box in each row for record selection, and streamlines the interface a little, for example.

Nathan.
