Hi all, At one of last week's standup meetings, I mentioned a time picker UI that had been proposed at a dijit meeting. Since then I had a brief discussion about it with Colin, and he suggested I provide some information on fluid-work.
Since then, a ticket has been added to dojo's bug tracking system, which is public, so I no long have qualms about revealing something that I'm not supposed to. The main idea is to provide mouse users with a set of times that they do *not* have to scroll through; that all the times are visible at once. The current dojo time picker is a combobox where the drop-down list contains the times that one could pick. It's configurable in terms of the minute resolution; five minute intervals vs 15 minute intervals, for example. If the resolution is too fine the drop down becomes relatively long and scrollable, and clumsy for mouse users. Note that the scrolling is circular, wrapping at midnight. Note also that it works with a mouse wheel, which I find an improvement. The description of the new UI and some discussion about it can be found here: http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/7631 For reference the current time picker test page is here: http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_TimeTextBox.html -- ;;;;joseph 'This is not war -- this is pest control!' - "Doomsday", Dalek Leader - _______________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list fluid-work@fluidproject.org http://fluidproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
