I am preparing to update a browser based order app, written in rpg cgi 10 years ago. A lot has changed in user editing capabilities over those years. To piggyback on recent discussions on rpg'rs coding modern web2.0 type app, what are the functions most used that one needs to incorporate, and if possible - where are the working examples? I've been astounded (not really.) by the code examples on many sites/forums that just plain don't work. One (while trying to implement autocomplete function) in a well reviewed book had just plain bad syntax in the examples.
My emphasis is logical and efficient data entry, NOT pretty presentations, bouncing balls & flash video.
Users are asking for that "google" entry effect "autocomplete", popup calendars, edit fields while typing, and dynamic dropdown menus to get to anywhere.
Since customers in this as well, must include last x years of various browsers.
Over the years on midrange-l we've had lots of discussion of DDS functions - let's have one on web2.0 interface.
