Using the jQuery BetterGrow Plugin , I created a BetterGrow APEX Plugin. The APEX part is just a simple wrapper of the jQuery Plugin - so all the credits go to " The Product Guy " who came up with that one. It just does this: You can see it in action on the demo site . And download it from apex-plugin.com . There already was an similar plugin, created by Martin . On the demo page you can see both, so pick the one you like most!

For all you APEX Plugin developers: There is already an operational APEX Plugin Directory available at http://www.apex-plugin.com/ . You can add your own Plugins there and view and download the ones your co-APEX developers came up with. Looks pretty slick, with just one drawback: It is not built in APEX (at this moment). Oracle also has one under construction at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/plugins.html .

Better late than never... I am also happily playing around with APEX 4.0 and busy creating some PlugIns. The first one is rather simple (once you get the hang of it). It can show you a Google Wave by just entering the Wave ID (ok, and a width and height for your convenience). If you have a Google Wave account you can see the results and download the PlugIn on : http://tryapexnow.com/apex/f?p=PLUGINS:GOOGLEWAVE . More to come ... : as you can see in the Wave, there are lots of good ideas on PlugIns!!
