Based on the discussions I've seen on the "Inline Edit - clearing the field" thread, my conclusions are:
1) An empty field can contain some invitation text, such as "click here to edit." This should be pluggable, so that implementors can choose not to have any text. 2) This invitation text should be dimmed, or other wise different in appearance than 'normal' text. 3) If there is not invitation text and the field is left empty, it should have some minimum with so that the invitation highlight is more noticable. Separate issues not directly related to how to display an empty field: A) It might be nice to have an affordance for clearing a field B) Inline authoring C) Support for error on attempting to save an empty field If no one tells me that I've misunderstood, we'll start with the necessary changes for the numbered points above. -- Anastasia Cheetham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Designer, Fluid Project http://fluidproject.org Adaptive Technology Resource Centre / University of Toronto _______________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list [email protected] http://fluidproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
