JavaScript Controls I
The "place":http://www.picsoft.com I work puts a large emphasis on the UI(User Interface) of a web application -- so much so that the first phase of development is centered around building a "Concept Model" of the application. The CM(Concept Model) is basically a prototype on some really strong steriods. Essentially, it's the UI layer of the application, showing data interaction, and demonstrating how the system will work -- more or less.To show the data interaction, we use JavaScript and XML. Over the years here, I've been involved in dozens of CM's. As you might imagine, that's a lot of JavaScript.XML is so simple I won't bother mentioning it further. JavaScript itself is covered very well (have a look at the O'Riley book), but I'm not sure if JavaScript controls are ever talked about.Before we get too far, let me clarify something: I build JS(JavaScript) Controls for use with IE(Internet Explorer) and FireFox only. If they work on other browsers, great. But I won't waste time on browsers with so little market-share. That said, I may start testing on Safari... Just because I like it so much. ;)
