Lightbox support in Aida/Web

Hi all,

In the last version of Aida on http://mc.bioskop.fr/Aida, you'll find a
new component: WebLightbox.

You can see a demo here: http://nico.bioskop.fr/lightbox.html

So, now Aida too has a lightbox support. I would like to thank Lukas
Renggli who let me reuse his lightbox script.

How to use it? It is quite simple:

| e |
e := WebElement new.
e add: (WebLightbox newFor: WebCounter new) "or any other WebComponent
or WebElement"
...

If you find any bug, please tell me. Also, I didn't test it under IE and
safari. Could someone do it for me please?

So now the next step is to add a call/answer like feature to WebElement,
which will use the lightbox ;)


Cheers!

Nico

Rob, try to replace #build with:

build
       super build.
       self addText: 'Hello, Lightbox'.

Also, clear your browser cache to avoid problems with css.

Cheers!

Ok, good news, thank you.

Also, remember that you can use lightboxes with traditional WebElements,
not only components:

viewLightbox
       | e f |
       e := WebElement new.
       e addTextH1: 'lightbox demo'.
       f := WebElement new.
       f addText: 'This is a lightbox'.
       e add: (WebLightbox newFor: f).
       self pageFrameWith: e title: 'lightbox demo'

I think lightbox is most useful for things like YES/NO dialogs while for
other you rather use traditional Aida approach.
