Re: [IxDA Discuss] Regarding Table

You could take the Google approach and reverse Jack's suggestion and present the user with the opportunity to undo what they've done by clicking on a simple and clear CTA. Regarding deleting across different pages, you should test your solution with your audience, understand their needs and how th

You could design a smart UI where there are three options; I was born: [18 or more years ago today] [14 to 17 years ago today] [I'm not of age] That way the user just needs to select one option instead of facing multiple entry fields. Eduardo _

Hi Karen - just curious as to what the outcome of this survey will be. Are you planning to share the results with the community (raw / final deliverable)? Who is this being put together for? Sorry if I seem hesitant, just like to know who stands to benefit. Cheers, E __

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Forms: Asking for email first during registration?

2009-10-18 Thread Eduardo Ortiz
Jennifer, I think that it comes down to appropriate segmenting of the items presented in the form and the type of registration that is being filled out, a utility/bank registration area will have multiple fields where e-mail might be required but a contact number is optional. Check out Chris Mess

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Required fields - one or the other

2009-10-14 Thread Eduardo Ortiz
Brian, As a simple answer, you can address it with a description for that section stating that either field is required and grouping them into logical areas (e.g. Sign-in information, Contact information, Personal details, etc). Here are some samples from Chris Messina's flickr design patterns st

Hi Elena, My team recently designed a drag-and-drop module for a project that we're working on, our audience range is pretty wide so we decided to go with a dual system, where the most experienced (comfortable with technology) could use the drag and drop and other users could use a simple CTA like

Hi Pietro, This article posted on A List Apart by Luke Wroblewski tackles inline validation. You might want to check the different pattern libraries out there (Yahoo, Welie, Quince, etc) for other examples. This is the article: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/inline-validation-in-web-forms/ H

Spanish is at best "intelligible", not too bad (at least most words are there), but I would not consider it a translation per se. e.g. >From the translation: > Hay bastante interacción de los programas de diseño en Europa que han > las comunidades locales, como el Programa de Estudios de Postgra

* Are you talking about simply moving the feedback from the slider intoa more prominent position?* Yes, but a lot more can be done in the area, that ad that appears in the beginning (before the ui changing to display the video ui) could be integrated, that way the user sees all of their control and

Eugene, I'm providing some comments, based on what you requested. My experience with video comes from doing actual production of videos and designing UIs to support them for different clients and audiences. In the end, I think you just have to do what your audience requires or needs. *-
