ve: interface design

Posted by david on 8. February 2009 01:08

2009_02_06: gridview is not working in firefox. does in IE.

2009_02_04: gridview does work … actually looks better than in IE – no breakage of the box.

2009_02_05: gridview is not working in firefox. does in IE.

Plan:  

  • small, tall column on left housing a gridview with name & space for icons, or tags
    • POI List
      • translucent when not in focus … maybe no borders, just sharp text on a fogged background, tith transparency to whatever ends up behind it.
    • POI Details
      • Ajaxalicious tabbed control to the right of that, when a record is selected … or when a switch is thrown
      • tabs:  the tab is visible IFF there is data to support it ( or permissions on user are appropriate )
        • geo detail
        • tag detail
        • notes detail
        • pictures
        • reviews
        • member input
        • etc etc etc – again, no data, not built yet then no tab appears
      • this tab could be brought up ( or a similar looking thing ) when a spot is selected to add – or any information editing at all is needed.
        • similar to what K has on musiccrunch ( thanks, K, the check is in the mail ) for band info.
  • but, more urgent
    • get zipcode field
    • is db ready for all this additonal info
    • simplify current POI list.
    • Figure out how to conditionally format it -
    • IF NOT geocode yet, grey it down, display box – option to geocode it.
      • GEOCODE IT
        • box with result information pops out.
        • that same bloody tabbed form – better look nice
        • Lat Long is visible.
        • or error message displayed if the geocode failed.
        • OK – or x button to close

so how bout a look – a design plan:
