nestedSliders

[GeoffS]

As I mentioned, this is a start-again thread on the "off the cuff
theme" of FAQ's and TabBars.

Of course the picture is now changed, these are truly Russian Dolls.

I appreciate that Rodney was feeling he had a particular ownership of
how things moved and evolved. I guess that's OK if you get everything
really put together before you launch. The truth be known, I think
Rodney did not really see all the various possibilities which have
sprouted and needed evaluation. Certainly there was no way we could
proceed without true nesting.

On my notebook page I have some little tweaks. There is a settings
switch which can be changed so that you get a distinctive startup
default button set, or not.

I have tried and failed to write the alternated regexps for (((( +++
etc. Doubtless someone can sort this.

The name EasySlider was my suggestion which took on, at that earlier
time.

I would recommend nestedSliders as what is more appropriate, now.

Another thing to say about developments which prove to have very far
reaching consequences, is that quality collaboration is always what
makes it really happen. Without Jeremy's TW, this could not be. Without
JS it could not be, either, (and that is one real SOB).

One particular glitch, at present, is that the ability to insert
sliders into tables has gone. So we can have a little friendly
competition to find out why that is; it may even be connected with my
mods, in some way.

On the +++ or ((( debate that default opened parameter reads more
distinctively in the second case > I.e. ++++ and (((+. In the earlier
debate, of course, it is not what one has grown accustomed to that
matters; rather, it is what maximises the overall functionality.

So I do think this debate should be continued. Of course, we can get
the regexp sorted to have both, if there is a genuine rift. I was
reading through the old threads the other day where Jody Foo debated
the virtues of tagglyTagging. There was a sort of actual parting of the
ways, but both methods still survive (not that I like TagglTagging that
much).

So agreeing to disagree is always an option.

a regexp to handle both would be \\({3}|\\+{3} I think that would
work... haven't tested it though
