creating a configuration pane in javascript

Question

I am looking to create a generic config pane for a grease monkey plugin. I was wondering if there exists a lib to make this easier?

I am looking for some tool where you might give it some name/value pairs and it will generate a nice looking UI.

I think ive seen this somewhere but forgot the search terms.

Answer 1

Maybe you can use jQuery UI lib for building pane. Lib is full of easy-to-use visual components.

Answer 2

Given how simple you seem to want it, why not just hand-write some HTML and CSS and throw that up on the page? It's very easy to show a simple configuration window and takes very little effort to make it look presentable.

If you want it to look nice, jQuery UI. You could also try Cappuccino, but the more library you layer on, the clumsier it'll get.

For a simple layout, just use tables. Taboo, yes, but effective... and it IS just a configuration screen.

Answer 3

This is probably a solution:
