Does anyone have examples of some fancy things to do with HTML-based user interfaces? For example, I've currently got a request to show two "boxes" of items with add/remove arrows. So selecting in the left-hand box and clicking the arrow will move the item to the right hand box. I'm sure it's possible with CSS, JavaScript and hidden form fields. (I'm pretty sure they got the idea from adding recipients to an email in Outlook.)
I also have a long-standing requirement to dynamically "grow" a field, when the user types something in a text box and clicks a button, that item "moves up" and a new, blank field appears. I'm currently doing this with an "add" button, which submits the form to the Struts app, the entry gets added to a session scope bean, then back to the form with read-only displays of the stuff in the bean and [the same] blank field. (Although it looks like a "new line", it isn't, it's the same form field.) Googling turns up a bunch of essays on what makes a good user interface, but not too much on tips and tricks. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
