Walter - does this stuff not work for you on Firefox on Linux?
What wigged me out about it was that with FF2 (updated today) for XP and
IE7 on the same windows laptop,
many of the demo examples worked quite different under IE and FF. They
seemed more fluid under
IE, and better behaved.
An example that bothered me the most was the validation page.
FF would pass bad variables, IE worked perfect. FF would submit bad data
on an "Enter", IE would
only submit when the submit button was pushed, and all fields has proper
data.
Besides ecommerce, I see lots of places that it would be important to be
able to configure back office UI elements
to use ajax instead of plain html.
Clickable, sortable columns are a given in client/server ERP's that I
have seen, and one feature that I have had
to apologize for when training people in ofBiz when they instinctively
click on a column heading and nothing happens.
If it looks even remotely like Excel, users expect it to act like Excel.
Do you think there will be elements sometime in the future utilizing
ajax tools to aid in data verification? E.g. running a service to
determine/correct city and state from a given zip code? CASS correcting
addresses as they are entered?
