Using SkelJS
I had to build a dashboard for reviewing patient details, very quickly. However wanting to still build something that was clean, fast and which could eventually be ported to my long term solution; I decided to build the UI layer in pure html/css/js. So being lazy I decided to look for prefabricated HTML5 templates. I found one on html5up.net which seemed to serve my purpose of simplicity and having a clean look.
After downloading it and starting to play with it I found that it was using SkelJS, not knowing the innards of SkelJS, I decided to forge forward and skin the CSS to suit my needs, the initial skinning was relatively painless, however that impression changed as soon as I got to the re-sizing piece (I needed the left nav bar to not collapse and I needed the div containing the left nav bar and the right viewing container to expand vertically as I added more items to the right container)
I feel like I had gotten trapped in a spiders web, SkelJS does it configuration via a combination of configuration setting and JS that resides in the JS files. Removing an innocent looking configuration easily had far reaching effects, also try to follow the code in the skel.min.js file that comes out of the box was a challenge in patience. I eventually managed to resolve my issues, but I don't think I will be using SkelJS in the final solution that I plan to develop with webpy.
