[patch][cla] [dojox] TabContainer with scrolling / sliding

[angelm]

This is a new TabContainer? that has sliding tabs (ala Firefox).

It's still work in progress. I'm submitting it now so people can start playing with it.

It was developed for Dojo 1.1.1. so I need to fix some issues. Also it only works currently with the Soria theme and has some inconsistencies calculating the total size of tabs between different browsers.

I expect to be able to submit a much improved version of this patch early next week.

I have submitted a new patch as Dec 9 2008. It's just something to get started. It should sort of work with trunk but there are a lot of issues and it is far from being releasable:

• IE has a ton of issues (when the tabs are on the sides, it doesn't work at all, I haven't created yet the Gif's for IE 6 without transparencies, etc...).

• The popup menu is not implemented yet.

• Only the Soria theme is currently implemented and it has lots of imperfections anissues.

• Complete lack of comments :-(

• and many more issues...

I should be able to work on it some more next week and hopefully get it in decent shape by the end of the year. I had less trouble to get it working with Dojo 1.1.1. At least I did not have that much issues with IE 6.

this existing patch is missing TabContainer?.html template, and all the associated images.
