[Dojo-interest] Re: ComboBox and FilteringTable

[Jacek Pawlowski]

Tom, It would be great to be able nest ComboBox inside dynamic
FilteringTable.  I think it it pretty common situation with
header/details documents (e.g. Sales Orders, Invoices, POs, etc.) when
users has to choose from list of items in dynamically build table
(details of an order/invoice, etc.).
On the other hand because FilteringTable is primarily used as a view is
there any other widget which would allow nesting ComboBox inside
dynamically build table?  

Thanks for the explanation.
