What's inside

ActiveWidgets 2.5 is a UI component library which is implemented in javascript and runs inside the web browser. ActiveWidgets controls generate html on the client-side and can communicate with the server asynchronously using XMLHTTPRequest object (AJAX-style).

ActiveWidgets library includes powerful datagrid control, collection of the standard form elements, data formatting and validation classes and simple XMLHTTPRequest wrapper.

What's new

ActiveWidgets 2.5 beta1 adds two new visual themes - 'vista' and 'system'. The 'system' theme combines vista, xp, aqua and classic themes into one package so that the theme appearance matches the current user operating system. The grid performance is significantly improved compared with AW 2.0 and the library now supports all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera). More....
