[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] separating tabs in staff client

[Holly Brennan]

Excellent! Thanks, Dan. As if there weren't enough reasons to be excited about the browser-based client before this!

Hello Holly,

The browser-based client will be a normal website from the perspective of your browser, so you'll be able to do any sort of window/tab management supported by the browser.  So, yes, you'll be able to do what you're asking about.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] separating tabs in staff client

Yesterday I had the desire to view 2 or 3 tabbed pages in the staff client at one time. I tried to pull the tabs apart, as I often do in Chrome or Firefox, so they were in their own windows - thus viewable at the same time. But sadly they wouldn't budge.

Will the new browser staff client be able to function this way, with tabs acting more like individual web pages? Or will they be stuck within one "window" as they are now?

I appreciate being able to shuffle the order of tabs currently, but the added flexibility to create separate windows would be awesome.

Since I have no knowledge of the development requirements for this, I'm just throwing the idea out there. It may be extremely difficult, or impossible, or just scary. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

-Holly
