its not the form its what the form is doing

What is it doing, I saw nothing but a few textboxes and two buttons; as I said hardly exciting.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

M dHatter

its not a form, its a drawing on the canvas acting like a form... imagine drawing your forms however you would like.

Perhaps you should have explained that a bit more in your first post.

maybe a flash form replacement

I'm with Richard. I sat there and watched it for a minute or so, and it didn't do anything. It just sat there and looked like a bunch of textboxes...

Hm, that's really interesting. I do have a question though. How do you debug that?

I couldn't type in the fields and it crashed my browser. :(( Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 'Dolphin for Pad' Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks, Serverside is the same, client side i have hooks in for overrides and sockets and ajax.

M dHatter

Yea you need html5 canvas. Shouldnt be long before its supported on everything

Andrei Straut

Did you consider writing an article or something for it? Sounds interesting, and I'd be willing to give it a try, when I can get back my spare coding time (hopefully soon enough). And if it works well cross-browser (didn't test it, yet) it may actually be a nice alternative to CSS nightmare

M dHatter

Did you even inspect those boring textboxes? You probably think they are tags

That's almost as informative as your original post. If you think (and you obviously do) that this is something new and exciting then write an article round it and post it in the proper place. Then you may get some more reasoned and reasonable feedback. As it stands all I can see is a standard form with a few textboxes, so as a web designer or user I cannot get excited about it.

The caret seems a bit fuzzy and slow-blinking.

Shirt-Tab doesn't work. One can Tab through the controls on a page for easy navigation. Shift-Tab should do the same, albeit in the opposite direction.

Yea i dont have all keys fully working yet and some selecting features. But I will perfect it in a couple of months.

Sorry for bitching about that feature. Using FF 14.0.1 and Chromium on Ubuntu, both rendered the page as advertised :thumbsup:
