[Phpgroupware-developers] Some changes to the program flow

[Dan Kuykendall]

I have now added to functions.inc.php a call to 
register_shutdown_function();
I have registered the common->phpgw_footer() to be run at the end or 
exit of a script. Now apps no longer have to bother putting that at the 
end of all their pages, and we can have this function called more 
reliably. The only things apps have to do is the stuff at the top of 
their files to set the appname and include the header.inc.php.

There will be some initial hitches to this in scripts that dont want the 
api to display anything, and havent set the nessesary flags to prevent this.

Also for an example of using scrollable <div> to keep the window 
framework looking nice even when the app content is longer than the 
avaible space, I have put scrollable <div> around the main preferences 
page. To test this just load up the preference page and make your window 
too short to display all the content. You will should see that the 
overall page fits in the window and you still have your footer, but only 
the content portion has a scrollbar. Im curious about how various 
browsers deal with this, so let me know.
I am already aware of the fact that mozilla doesnt properly give the div 
focus, and so the scolling wheel mouse doesnt work in there. This is a 
bug they have to deal with and its in their bugzilla. IE 6 works fine 
with this.

If it works well or is ignored by browsers that dont understand it, so 
is safe to use then I would encourage its use in several places to help 
keep the overall page structure in order.
