Peeves and Problems with Web Based Dialog Interface Development
This topic thread is a place to discuss generally our peeves and problems with developing extension interfaces using the SketchUp API’s web based UI::HtmlDialog class (and the old deprecated UI::WebDialog class.)
Over the years there have been so many discussion and question topics about coding with these UI classes that it was impossible with a simple search to see what has been discussed. So I will begin collecting a categorical index here in this first post. The categories will be collapsed sections.
