Finding my way in Pier's code

Hi,
I'm trying to tweak Pier to use <div> elements instead of tables; Ieasily located the code generating the header in PRHeaderWidget, but Ican't find where the <table class="body"> is generated... is this aPRXHtmlWidget ?

This is not hardcoded, this is part of the Pier model itself. There  
are two possibilities to change it:

1. Point your browser to '/environment' and edit this hidden page. If  
you are using the latest version of Pier, you don't need to type this  
path manually, but instead just log-in as admin and point to the  
location.

2. Change the code that creates the default environment in  
PRStructure>>environmentStructure and reset your existing kernel:  
PRKernel reset. PRPierFrame initialize.

If you have a solution (not necessarily with the same design, but at  
least with the same functionality) that works in IE, Firefox and  
Safari I am very interested to include it into the main distribution.

Cheers,
Lukas

Well if it works in IE that'll be by chance, I can't check myself :-)  </troll>

 I have this, only tested in FF linux...

1) change /environment to:
+header+
<div class="body">
  <div class="boxes">
    +views+
    +commands+
    +tree+
  </div>
  +contents+
</div>
<div class="poweredby">Pier &mdash; Empowered by Seaside</div>

2) change this method:
PRHeaderWidget>>renderTitleOn: html
        html div class: 'banner'; with: [
                html div class: 'start'.
                html div class: 'middle'; with: [
                        html div class: 'title'; with: (self expand: self title).
                        html div class: 'tabs'; with: [ self renderTabsOn: html ].
                ].
                html div class: 'end'].

3) apply attached patch to the CSS (sorry about the different spacing...)

Bugzilla's page looks very much like Pier (or maybe vice-versa :p) and
they use <div>s
http://www.bugzilla.org/

What do you mean by 'functionality' ?

Yeah, www.mozilla.org is the place where I got the inspiration for  
the current design ;-)

> What do you mean by 'functionality' ?

I mean the same look & feel for IE, Firefox and Safari. I tried to  
come up with something not using tables, but it simply took me too  
much time to come up with a solution working on all Web Browser. I  
prefer to spend my time on other things, though it is certainly  
possible to come up with a cross browser solution using XHTML and CSS  
solely, for an example see my Web site.

Cheers,
Lukas
