Real multiple document interface (MDI) with add-ins menu bar option for fast window resizing. All javascript, xml, xsl, css base (no plug-in).
Data management friendly i.e. event trigger when 'X' icon is click, window can be always on top until event append, access to window properties like oWindow.save, oWindow.content, etc.

This is what corporate business on the intranet has been missing for a long time.
Earlier this September, Developer Utility - www.developerutility.com - have release a new package for corporation building their intranet/internet portal.
The product is call MDI Browser and it allows the developer team to reproduce exactly what desktop application (.exe) have been using for a long time, i.e. dropdown menu bar with moveable/resizable child windows, in the browser.
For the administrator it is a great timesaver. No plug-in or install process are required since all the source code was developed with JavaScript, Xml, Xsl and Css. Meaning also it work as good with Microsoft or Linux servers.
For the user, it is very practical when it come time to compare information side by side in two different windows - like customer profile, graphic or monthly report. The menu bar also come with quick resizing options like cascade, split vertical and can easily be display horizontally or vertically. No more DOS style - drill down, drill back up - to consult information like Web 1.0 offers.
For the developer, it is data management friendly and comes with methods and properties accessible by the JavaScript language. For example, an event is trigger when the close window icon is click. You also have access to properties like oWindow.save, oWindow.content, oWindow.id and change them using the browser DOM.
Using the Xml/Xsl model to render the menu bar output on the server side, the security per user/group is easy to implement. Add your favorite method for transmitting information to the server like Ajax or hidden frame, or both for legacy systems, and you can be on your way to reproduce complete business office suite available on the web.
Mostly aim for intranet web site it can also serve in online text/data edition or software picture modification/consultation. The end result is real Multiple Document Interface (MDI) for browser. For redistribution purpose in others projects, it come with different suites of package, starting at $350 USD.
