oBrowser -- Is there a demand for this?

>I’d like to ask the list if oBrowser is in use

Working on it.  Don't read too much into any of this, it's quite full of placeholders at the moment . . .

This htmlcontrol lets me display phone numbers, emails and physical addresses in a single scrolling space, with expand/collapse buttons so I can show just the first one or reveal all the phone numbers, and everything else just pushes down and makes room.  Much more flexible than a complex grid object, since each row doesn't need to be the same height.  The mailto link behavior comes along for free with the proper markup, and those copy/edit/delete buttons only appear when you hover over their context space.  An add button appears when you hover over the categories.

This htmlcontrol lets me produce a 3-D list, where I can expand a line and allow drilling down into many different related details.  Here I've expanded lines 3 and 5.

I think this is a great tool. One of the hover buttons for addresses will open another window with a google map of the address.  Not needing to leave Omnis to show web pages is a real step forward.
