RE: [PEAR] New Quickform elements

Hi... > -----Original Message----- > From: Bertrand Mansion [mailto:bmansion@mamasam.com] > > Jeroen Houben is currently working on a cool popupcalendar > widget (I put pressure on him here :) ). I saw a nice one @ http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/datepicker/datepicker.html - however it wasn't the pop-up type. Another one which was pop up is available at http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/popcalendar.htm > The numeric boxes will actually be a good addition. The HTML > textarea too. But we have to be extra careful with these > widgets and make sure they work on all recent browsers (NS4 > doesn't have to be supported IMO, it's too limited). http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/ does the best HTML textarea replacement I know of, and (as has been mentioned on this list before) the new v3 works in Mozilla and IE. If you make some which are IE only, maybe falling back to something else - or just fail - if the browser is not IE - then there are plenty of neat little widgets. Check out http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/select/jsGenerated.html for a replacement select list, embedded graphics and styles too! How about a tooltip to give the user hints on data format to enter in the form, use http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/tooltip/tooltip.html and you can have styles, rather than just plain text. IE only though :-/ > If you feel like coding a new widget, you will probably be > interested in Jeroen's code once it's ready. If you have > found cool javascript that we can use (in terms of licenses, > authorizations...), please let us know. I think http://webfx.eae.net/ is a cool start. Some highlights are:- A slider for selecting a percentage or something such as RGB can be found at http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/slidebar/slidebar.html http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/tabpane/tabpane.html could be used to break up different parts of the form - rather than just using 'header'. A pretty useful (possibly) addition would be the combo box, a text string and select gadget combined! http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/combobox/combobox.htm has the code and a demo to view. The site also has some stuff for mozilla. There also plenty of nice visual effects which can help make forms look nicer. Maybe it would be good if Quickform had the option to turn them on/off? One such one is the highlight active form element - http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/highlightform.htm For now, that's all. Regards, Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
