Abstract
In web development, widgets are all the rage these days. No longer are we content with regular form fields, buttons, drop-down lists, and such. Just plain-old tables aren’t sufficient for many developers! But this trend isn’t just due to a desire to create cooler interfaces. There are UI metaphors in a modern operating system that don’t have an analogy in the web world, at least not intrinsically.
