Sorry about being down, it's all back up now The great thing about widgets is that they act as OO Classes on top of a DOM object. So you can say 'make this DOM object act like an XYZ'. Sometimes the XYZ is a very visible thing (checkbox, draggable, etc), but other times, we have pure code widgets that do internal routing, or traditional "controller" type activities. For instance, each <li> may be a widget that does... whatever, but then the <ul> may be a widget that listens for events, and adds/removes <li>s from underneath it as appropriate.
