There are numerous rows in this repeater - I never know how many - I want only one checkbox checked at any time. If the user changes the checked checkbox, any pre-existing checks are unchecked th...

Some of the features i'm looking to implement are: Single or multiple selection of objects Alignment of objects (when several are selected) Same-sizing of objects (when several are selected) Moving/dragging of selected object(s) Selected object resizing in eight directions (using object gri...
Are there any tools out there, for MFC apps in particular, which can be used to gather data on how users use dialogs... of primary interest is which controls are accessed most often. I'd guess one could write something that would plug into an existing dialog without too much fuss, but perhaps something (preferably free) already exists t...
Anyone know of a jquery plugin that can convert the contents of a select drop-down list to a multi-column panel? Ideally, I would want to also support option groups, so that all the items in a group would stay together in a single column. Here is an example of what I mean: ...

I am developing a multilingual web application that has a nice looking UI. I thought using CSS 3's font-face property to make it even nicer UI, but I'm not really sure if that's a good idea. According to some people I have talked to, different languages need different fonts. This means that there is no single font that can display charac...
I've realized I need a full-fledged browser automation tool for testing user interactions with our JavaScript widget library. I was using qunit, starting with unit testing and then I unwisely started incorporating more and more functional tests. That was a bad idea: trying to simulate a lot of user actions with JavaScript. The timing iss...

I am investigating for a tool that allows a user to perform in a user friendly way queries to database for extracting datas and creating reports. Primary requirement is that we can't know queries users are going to do. So we need to design a flexible UI allowing them to specify in a non technical way. My question is: do you know any to...
All web developers run into this problem when the amount of data in their project grows, and I have yet to see a definitive, intuitive best practice for solving it. When you start a project, you often create forms with tags to help pick related objects for one-to-many relationships. For instance, I might have a system with Neighbors...

However I am trying to create an autocomplete that sends the current value to a PHP script and then returns the necessary values.

I'd like to implement a feature in my application where show a dialog to the user, and the main form (similar to how jQuery looks). My only idea is to take a screenshot of the form, place it as the background of a panel (with opacity to my liking) then pushing the panel over everything on the form. I have to believe there is a better w...

Does anyone know how to work around this so that we can go from one alert to another? I am using CLDC 1.0 and MIDP 2.0. Additional Information ...
I need to develop a user interface for inputting something like "if x or (y and z) then do a, b, and c". The data to be entered itself is already quite complicated, how do you wrap it up in an intuitive UI? ...
Somewhat similar to this question, except we haven't decided that we're going with WF yet. I'm working on designing a system that requires a series of decisions and activities on a "work object," so I naturally began to consider workflow, specifically WF. What I'm wondering is if WF is a good solution for a situation like the followi...

Here is what I am doing to try to debug the issue: UIView *currentView = self.view; while (currentView!=nil) { NSLog(@"frame: %f,%f,%f,%f", currentView.frame.o...
What would you recommend me to do in order to accomplish that? I'm developing a Scheduling software and i love google's interface (view in day, week, month) but i'm thinking in doing everything from ground zero.
