GridBuilder Apple Dashboard Widget
Hey all –
I started playing with Apples DashCode beta and I thought it would be handy to port my GridBuilder to it.. So download it, play around with it & shoot me your thoughts/comments/curses 
Check it out the screen shots here
Download the widget here.
This is my first attempt at a Dashboard widget, so please be gentle
Notes: Right now it doesn’t support the custom doc type for dynamic doc sizing, it only supports the built in #doc, #doc2 & #doc3.
It also defaults to a full view of the Widget. I would like to change it so that you have to click a button to expand the full widget, as it is it takes up a fair bit of screen real estate.

Nothing happens when I click “Show Code”.
Do I need to have some specific software installed? I’m running a 20″ iMac, OS X 10.4.9

There have been a couple of reports about that, I’ll try to get that fixed up as soon as possible..

This is neat, but is it really appropriate as a widget? Widgets are best for things you want to refer to quickly and intermittently–like checking the status of a package. But a grid builder is something you stop what you’re doing to focus on intently for a couple of minutes, but then you leave it for days or longer. That seems better for a plain standalone webpage.
