====== Entourage UI ======

Entourage UI is a set of Widgets and Behaviors; it's also a framework for creating both. Widgets and Behaviors can be put on your page quickly and easly by augmenting simple html with custom attributes. For instance, the following example creates a silder control...

<code html>
<div control="slider[value=20]"></div>
</code>

==== Why Entourage UI? ====

So what value does Entourage UI provide on top of existing widget libraries?  Entourage UI gives HTML/JavaScript developers:

  - The ability to create widgets declaratively
  - A framework for creating new widgets
  - A framework for including third party widgets in a unified API

Entourage UI also integrates UI components with [[expressions:start|Expressions]] to simplify their usage, and with [[mq:start|MQ]] to power them with data and control them with custom events.  Click on a widget or behavior on the left for more information on usage and their capabilities.
