Come by the Cafe Intermezzo Buckhead/Brookwood location [1] Monday
night for a meetup with fellow IA/IxD/UX types and special guest Don
Turnbull [2] of the School of Information at the University of Texas,
Austin. I'll also say a few words about the status of our Atlanta IxDA group.

I'm struggling with an UI issue, so I'm hoping to receive some advice from
you. Imagine a textprocessor (i.e. Word) application in which you can edit
both text and image objects. The interface is clean and simple, only the
most needed functions are available in this app. An advantage of the
Bart,
Your instincts are correct. Here's a post I made on my blog awhile back:
Developers often ask me whether a function should be hidden when not
available, or merely disabled. I gave them the following two rules
in my UI Design First Aid lecture.

can't say that their Web experience is a good one, but it has a couple of

I can elaborate. Let%u2019s say Mary just attended a wedding over

ready to share them. Some magic happens and the pictures end up on a

Hi Rob,
Can't you use the Illustrator export feature (to photoshop) and
choose write layers? Or do you want to do a lot of files at once?
best,

I had a great experience using the Emery Go Round system in
Emeryville, CA due to their NextBus real-time tracking implementation,
however their web site can definitely use some work and isn't as

shuttle status from the bus stop
hopstop.com is really great, at least for New York it is. To me it's
what the MTA site *should* be.

startle the user and might create modes, and modes are usually
difficult to deal with.
Disabling might be a solution. Including rollover tooltips that
explain why buttons are disabled might help the user understand the
The only exception to the above rules I can think of is when a user
can never use a particular tool. Or when they can only use it should
someone give them new permissions.
An example of this might be admin tools that only a site
administrator needs, such as deleting posts on a forum, or a menu
I disagree with #5. Picking controls is VERY important. Why just today
I had to fill in a form to get my flumist inoculation. The last item

Elsewhere on the form I had this option:

So what was I supposed to fill

I'd say any book worth its salt about form design would answer this
