Hi

I wonder if there are OSS libraries providing resizable frames,
with the same look and feel as JInternalFrame in Java Swing :
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/internalframe.html

This might , or not , include resizing <frame> or <iframe> elements
within the page.
Thanks for any hint, including comments on feasibility.

What's an OSS library?

Why are you using frames and why do you want to resize them. The viewer can
resize them anyway.

While I know a little about javascript I know absolutely nothing about java,
and even less about swing, whatever that is.

That demo (the launch button) is inviting me to download some sort of file.
No, thankyou.

iframe elements may be freely resized with standard DOM manipulation. frames
I don't know, I don't dabble with frames.

Sorry, OSS=Open Source Software.

I didn't mean frames in the HTML sense, but mini-windows that one can
move, resize, and iconify within the browser window, like regular
windows within the whole screen.

Of course no; just look at the image.

Would you use anything else?

So why did you say frames?

It would be real easy for me to read your post if you put, say, a blank line
between my text and yours. I've corrected all of the ones above, but I've
given up on this one.

Oh. Yes see the image.

You don't need a "library" for that. Just stuff some absolutely positioned
divs in there and add mouse event handlers to move them around and resize
them. All Simple stuff.

Thanks.
You reassure me.
Still think a reusable component is appropriate.
