/*
* Function that arranges a list of "boxed-like" xml objects with centered and page based way.
* Needs a object as container and a object to display the page (if not make hidden object and assign it)
* boxWidth,boxHeight: dimensions of each grid box
* The grid will ajust in accordance to the screen size from when init() method is called
*
* To add advances more details or adanced object inside each box redefine
* the function defineChildren when the object is instantiated.
*
* For example look at mapbrowser.js implementation.

In the future, instead of different pages it could be one page with a scroll bar. Needs scrollbars first ofcourse.
