[TYPO3-project-4-3] Inline JS in Backend

[Peter Kuehn [wmdb>]]

hi steffen,

 > What do you think?

full ACK to all of your points!

plus if i could make a wish: would be great if you could point your 
interest first on tceforms.
in lots of projects if make use of user defined fields to get around the 
multiple limitations of the rendered forms. to get around the given js 
structure realy is pain in the a** from time to time...

lookin foreward to see more details of your thoughts
