    Rage wrote: I had the same thought about MSOffice lately. Some things shall not run in a web browser - the name says it all : it is made for browsing. Period. That's one of the most beautiful things I have ever read in my life. You are a light of hope in an otherwise dismally bleak void of infinite darkness. Web pages and web apps belong in browser windows; industry-standard photo editing software belongs on the OS desktop. In no way can a web browser function to accommodate such complex and performance-demanding software. Perhaps one day in the future that may be different, but current web browsers? No. It's absurd. It's been hours, and I still haven't been able to figure out what the benefit of running Photoshop inside a web browser could possibly be. We don't put toaster ovens inside washing machines. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that one out. :wtf: I'll be back on a bit later. I need to go drive my car into my swimming pool. Then, I need to gather firewood so I can light a fire inside my refrigerator. After I do that I need to swallow a bar of soap. It's going to be a busy day. Oh, no! I forgot to put my chainsaw in my mailbox. How could I forget to do something so important?

    I'm part of a project that is replacing an oracle forms app with a web-based solution (javascript using React). We have the "keyboard-centric" UI requirement that you described. We have some interesting auto-completes - In a date field, if the user types an integer from 1-last day of month, and hits Tab, the date is automatically completed to include the current month and year. - On floating point numeric fields, if the user types a period on an empty field, a "0" is automatically pre-pended - We have LOV (list of values) field that allows the user to press F9 to get the list displayed where he can then select one of the values and press return. If he types a value that isn't in the list, and presses Tab, the list of values is displayed with the nearest matching value pre-selected. Curiously, we don't have hot-keys for button presses. I brought it up, citing the keep-them-on-the-keyboard paradigm, but was unceremoniously shot down. I don't make UI suggestions any more.

    5teveH wrote: His mind-set is 100% that of a developer He has that "blind spot". What you are describing is a business problem. Titles have nothing to do with it. The basic hierarchy is - Customer - Requirement/business cases - Architecture - Design - Implementation - Test - Delivery - Repeat steps as necessary. And there are other factors that influence that. - Providing a solution that is robust, fast, etc. - Updating old code - Security - Making sure that something is delivered so money can be made to pay the bills. - etc The roles that any one person might successfully fulfill depend on their own experience and their coworkers skill as well. An 'architect' might be able to fulfill the first 4 roles but not be great at the detail work needed for the levels under that. A developer might seem to have adequate knowledge of both the business and the code but fail when the business changes. Of course failures can come from many places. I know of specific case where a service was created, delivered and successfully used but a contract very early in the company history guaranteed they could not make enough money to keep going. In another case a design or perhaps implementation decision lead to a multi-billion dollar company failing in less than a year due to a security problem. Or a developer that was handed a detailed design and decided to ignore it producing a solution that did not meet the business needs the design dealt with. This is all impacted by complexity. A single man shop would need to provide all of that. But when a company has thousands of employees single employees just cannot learn everything needed to manage all roles. I have worked at companies where test automation was handled by a team of employees.

    The type of site you're looking for is called a [Single Page Application](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page\_application) (SPA). There are variations of this that do and don't change the address, etc, but the idea is the same for all... they don't reload the entire page when you navigate. Compte Personnel wrote: Does it require advanced programming knowledge? Yes. What's more is that there is one major drawback to SPAs, SEO and indexing by search engines. You can work around this in several ways, but that does add on to the complexity of the page. Compte Personnel wrote: how can I put this on a blog that I develop on Wordpress. Unless you're willing to spend the next couple of years really learning this stuff, your best bet is to just buy a WordPress theme that's an SPA already for like $50-$75. A SPA is not something you want to start with for your first site. Jeremy Falcon
