It would be genuinely interesting if we could write a client side form widget interpreter that would delegate generation of the interface to the client side and then supply the "action" interface via AJAX. It may be interesting to approach this as a "bridge" where we begin to layer dynamic AJAX functionality more aggressively onto the existing widgets.

Links in screenlets.

  • Have less (or even no) buttons in header
  • It was also suggested to use screenlets like gmail does. Notably
    • Three buttons max
    • Dropdown for other actions
    • The idea of duplicating at bottom
  • Having breadcrumbs under the title bar
  • Using portlets in place of screenlets
  • Recently (12/08) it was discussed if we should remove the screenlet's navigation-form-name attribute. There are (at least) 3 reasons for that
    • Less information/features than with default (pages numbers, ability to jump to any page)
    • The last button does not always work (try with widget.form.defaultViewSize=2 when listing invoices)
    • Pagination should be available to the user always in the same way in order to have a consistent UI.
      Then we have 2 possibilities
      1. Remove this attribute and all current uses.
      2. Keep it but then
        1. we should at least make it works (last button issue)
        2. make it consistent with the standard way (direct page access)
