Ha ok, sorry I missed the relation between "add form on the top but hidden " and "We
could even make it fancy and popup over top"
In this case I will vote for with my 2 hands and I will even hope that we could use such techniques to create an hidden calendar and
show it when needed. If we do it during lauching it's not very sensible since launching takes time anyway and after it would be
great to see it popping quickly.
Thanks

I didn't say open a new window, I said either expand a hidden area or popup using JavaScript within the window (ie over top of
the list behind it).

IMHO, we should avoid to overuse popping as opening a new window is time consuming (especially in Firefox). This is currently a
major inconvenience for Lookups and Calendar for instance

Since we're entering the world of using more javascript in the browser, why not have the add form on the top but hidden by
default with and Add button of some sort that would cause the form to be shown? We could even make it fancy and popup over
top of the list form and have it go away after submission with an update of the list behind it... without any page loads
even.

I would agree with that but personally I would prefer to see them on
completely different pages. If I wanted to be able to refer back to the
list while adding I would ctrl+click and then ctrl+tab to flick back and
forth, that's what makes tabbed browsers so handy. One of the problems with
having them on the same page is that any errors after adding would be
displayed before the list while the add form would be way down the bottom.

2) If a screen has a list and add form, what should be the order of these
forms (I have seen in your recent work that add form should come on top

agree with this).
I believe the form should be on top of the list. Otherwise, as you add
items to the list, the form is scrolled off the bottom of the screen.
The main question is: what is going to be used more? Will it be the list or
the add form?
If in most cases it will be the list, and if you have to scroll down every
time to see it... that's a pain.
