[Xerte] custom interfacy

[Hal MacLean]

Thanks Julian - I wasn't actually expecting you chaps to do it, as I  
have some coders here who could be usefully engaged in doing the  
necessary... however, what I am hearing is that it really isn't  
worthwhile and the gains for doing it will likely be small. What I  
suspect we will do is provide two versions of the object, should it be  
required... concentrating on the Xerte version for the full user  
experience, and a much more simple version using Javascript for the  
compatibility with the client's end browser capability.

I'd still like a sample file to explore which uses some of the  
interactivity icon tools without too much scripting ... is there  
anything like that available?

Hal
