This evening I branched the local version of Cuyahoga I am working on and tried a few things with jQuery UI. It works flawlessly. I have added tabs to Node Edit and Section Edit as these had the longest forms and scrolling.

Edit Node



Edit Section


I think it helps reduce information overload. What are thoughts on UI frameworks? I like the idea of a standardised UI and can help with development. Would it be a good idea?

This is much better and user friendlier.

I have removed a lot of the old markup from the admin and added the jQueryUI. It really makes a difference. I have also added jQuery.Cookies to remember the state of the tabs and this makes it very fluid to use.

Themes test for UI working. Any theme can be downloaded and used or created in themeroller.



Also jQuery validation has replace asp.net validation. If invalid elements are found then they are highlighted and the tab index of the error is activated to take the user directly there.

Installs in MSSQL, MySQL and Postgre.

While it shouldn't matter for the admin page, being a more controlled interface, but would you really want to remove the asp.net validation? Unless it would have to be reworked, having server side validation is always a huge plus in terms of security and quality.

Well... it is commented out at the moment so not removed as such. The jQuery based validation puts focus on the panel containing the invalid item. Ideas are welcomed.

Server side validation is a feature for those who expose their administration to public users, which could disable or change certain aspects of the client side javascript to bypass validation.

Yes, I understand the security aspects. It will be simple to have server side also.
