55 +=== 1. CSS Themes ===
56 +
57 +CSS theme you give your application is **fully-customizable**.
58 +However, Diva lacks CSS theming tools (such as jQuery ThemeRoller).
59 +
60 +Instead, the CSS themes need to be hand-rolled.
61 +
62 +=== 2. Scriptaculous Effects ===
63 +
64 +The effects library used for ERDivaLook is Wonder's choice - Scriptaculous.
65 +
66 +=== 3. Javascript Widgets ===
67 +
68 +The widgets used in Diva include:
69 +
70 +* accordion
71 +* date picker
72 +* modal dialog
73 +* modal window
74 +
75 +They are all in the Prototype+Scriptaculous family.
76 +
77 +=== 4. Ajax ===
78 +
79 +Wonder and Prototype provide the Ajax functionality in Diva.
80 +Support for turning on property-level Ajax updates is included (for to-one and to-many relationships on edit pages).
