I am sure as this toolkit begins to get used by more people in the community it will find it's way into the admin application. As I mentioned before, there is work going on on the CMS side of the fence that is utilizing this technology to make it easier on users.

Walter, if you or any other power users out there, have any recommendations on backend usability upgrades, please make sure that these kind of things start to make their way to a larger list that's being developed for the hackathon.

Cheers,
Tim

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?
