Summary of Web interface design

  The focus of this week: extending dialog functionality on the OPS base. The
 dialog design is done with the help of the project manager, and then the implementation of the Code and the test work are done by me alone. In this process, the
has the following benefits:
  First, the promotion of the understanding of the interface model the basic unit of the
  interface is page, which is composed of a page in Web application and a relationship between page. The flow between page
has the following modes: page flow mode, page stack mode, modeless dialog mode.
  Page-flow mode: This is the most commonly used pattern for Web applications, switching from one page to another page.
 
  page stack mode: refers to opening another page (Dialog-page) in a modal dialog box in a page (main-page),
at this point, Main-page and Dialog-page form a page stack, input focus only when the Dialog-page closed, will return to Main-page.

modeless dialog box mode: In one page, open another page through modeless dialog, at which point the two page is parallel.

The characteristics of these three modes are: the page-flow mode and the page stack pattern are linear, while the modeless dialog mode is parallel.


Second, familiar with Web application debugging
The Web program is divided into two parts: client and server. Server-side debugging is already familiar with Java debugging, and client-side debugging
Not previously involved, this time found a debugging client Good tool: Firefox + Venkman Javascript Debugger, this debugging tool
Very easy to use, have basic debugging function, especially worth mentioning is its online modification ability (can modify the value of a variable at run time, General 3G
The language debugger does not have this feature). In IE did not find the right debugging tools, if any, that would be good.


Third, admire Orebeon Company's service quality
In the process of extending OPS, there are some technical problems to communicate with Orbeon developers by writing emails and discovering the commercialization of foreign
The quality of the company's service has no say, a word: stick. And the speed is very fast. Basically guaranteed to have a reply within 24 hours. And now I'm using it for free
Mail subscription, if it is paid, I believe the service is better.
When you can work in a company like Orbeon, try ing ...

Iv. understanding of IE and Firefox support for dialog
With regard to dialog technology, IE and Firefox are not fully supported. For example: Two browsers of the API is not the same; For dialog in the page flow, IE
Bad support, Firefox support is good; for modal dialogs, ie support is good, but Firefox support is not very good. So, in this case, it
There is a technology that simulates the function of dialog box directly through JS. After using this technique, there is no need to worry about browser differences, it can also be very convenient
Make a dialog box.
