Hi This may not be very technical, but in my application I want to prompt the user when the form input element value has whitepsaces only. My english grammar is not the best so I hope some of the better english speaking folks can help me with this sentence: alert("This field can not contain whitespaces only: " + labelName); Thanks ...
I'm trying to show some UI Hints on an ASP.NET MVC 2 app, much like the way they are displayed on the careers site when you edit/fill out your resume: when a form control has focus, a little description of how to enter the required information appears next to it. What is the best method to show these suckers... ...
Hello, I did some experiments on autorotation. The situation: I have a TabBar 4(tabs), three should be portrait only. The last one is a UINavigationController, which by itself should not autorotate any of the stacked controllers. It is basically a browsing application, as I show file and folders everything should be portrait. Some times,...
I see there are several nice Accordion (UI) modules, but none seems to be able to display accordion for subsections of a single node/article. E.g. article on my site has sections "Start", "Middle", "End" and I'd like to be able to see these sections wrapped each under other on a single node page. Like /node/x Start (text available upon...

When performing a long operation in your application, how do you promote information from your business tier to your UI? Events? Passing in a status object which is hooked to the UI? Before I start I just wondered what cunning ways you guys and girls have come up with. ...
Hi chaps, I'm trying to make a simple Dialog - no title just the word 'Close' and the X in the top right hand corner. My text etc. will then go underneath. However I fiddle with it I can't ever get the closeText attribute to display - I can see it in FireBug but it either doesn't appear, or a couple of characters appear under the X gr...
I'm having a difficult time finding any resources that describe good UI patterns for large search forms. I have a form that requires 20+ possible inputs and can't come up with a design I feel good about (although in my defense I'm no design expert). In my case I'm looking for a web solution, but I imagine a UI-patter for this scenario is...
A common problem I find when dealing with non-technical users when supporting technical issues is "translating" what I'm hearing to what actually is causing the problem. In our current application we do things like provide error message details that can be forwarded to our support team, however my question is: 1. Is there an approach ...
I'm sorry if this question is noob-ish but I'm not having much luck with Google. Can Ruby be used for UI based Windows apps? I'm not looking for a Rails app, just Ruby. Thanks ...
I am looking for a Java UI control which allows users to draw drawings which can internally stored as an image. I am looking for a very light weight control which does not slow down the page rendering. Any pointer? ~Sri ...

Are there any visual cues that you know of that indicate an item's "draggability"? The obvious ones: "<marque>Click here to drag!</marque>" that icon thing and (which I plan to implement) the closed-hand-cursor-onmouseover <-- not this exact one Thanks for you help! Edit: Thank you all for your help. I definitely am in favor of...

In all current and future projects I pledged to concentrate all the ground work around interaction design. I'm aware of Alan Cooper's work, and it's excellent, but what I'm looking for is a reference work with observed human behavior when confronted with certain visual elements and usage scenarios. Some kind of "user psychology for dev...
It seems a lot of web applications allow users to change the color scheme, either to custom values or from several predefined ones (blue/yellow, grays, red/yellow, etc). I'm wondering if this is an important issue to consider adding. I'm looking at some premade application templates to speed up the design of my application, and a lot o...
Thus far the best C++ UI libraries I've run into are Qt, GTK, and wxWidgets; Are there existing libraries similar to jGoodies or 'better'. I am interested in mature (yet simple) technologies. ...

I have a simple ListActivity that uses a custom ListAdapter to generate the views in the list. Normally the ListAdapter would just fill the views with TextViews, but now I want to put a button there as well. It is my understanding and experience however that putting a focusable view in the list item prevents the firing of onListItemCli...

Within the report, I capture this error, however, when displaying it on a human readable report; I am not sure how to note this. An example would be something like Weight / Revenue ratio. For a given...
