Laulima Form Framework

Public Project active 1 year, 2 months ago

The Laulima form framework is capable of transforming dull forms into intricately designed beautiful masterpieces. This allows developers to rapidly build forms without having to worry about styling simply by adding the correct classes and relevant attributes.

    If we want to add Captcha functionality to our Form Framework, I suggest something more elegant, such as this sliding-captcha system – http://www.myjqueryplugins.com/QapTcha/demo

      Much cooler than squinting your eyes trying to figure out obscure alphabets =)
      Is it effective though?

        Have not looked into the code nor compared it to the traditional captcha methods, but imagine they must be very similar, in the sense that they are specifically looking for human intervention, and sure, someone somewhere will surely figure out a way to over-ride them, but that will happen to every layer added. The prime concern should be providing an easy way to give people the choice for adding that initial layer…

          True what you said.. the objective is for human intervention.
          Very smart idea they’ve come up with.

      Mark, the form framework does not working if we add jquery table sorter. Page will break and behave not as it should if we added

      head.ready(function() {
      $(”#branches”).tablesorter({
      // striping looking
      widgets: ['zebra']
      });
      });

      How to include this in header?

        This has nothing to do with the form framework not working or supporting the table sorter, but is instead related to the use of HEAD.js and how that handles ”ready”…

        Not directly the form framework – I think there is a problem with the interactions between;

        tablesorter, headjs, and the framework

        Leads to a continually loading page – working on debugging this today.

    Also require a “file upload” field as a higher priority…

    I’ve just uploaded a new version of the form framework to our global LIBS that now supports IE6 through to IE9 :-)

    This bug seems to have fixed itself with the latest LIBs update – please report otherwise if you encounter a similar problem.

  • LauTeam posted on the forum topic AJAX-DD – Clickoutside unstable in Chrome and Opera in the project AvatarLaulima Form Framework:   1 year, 4 months ago · View

    We now have an updated version of the form framework that fixes this bug and makes the opening and closing of AJAX powered drop-down lists much smoother – in fact, we may even be as bold as to say perfect in all browsers (excluding untested IE6/9) – so please report otherwise if you find any [...]

  • LauTeam posted on the forum topic Internet Explorer Styling in the project AvatarLaulima Form Framework:   1 year, 4 months ago · View

    This has been fully tested on IE8 and IE7 – with full support for IE8 (minus two styling quirks) but no support for WYSIWYG text-areas, Radio Buttons or Check-Boxes. Has not yet been tested in IE6 and IE9.

  • Mark Smalley posted an update in the project AvatarLaulima Form Framework:   1 year, 4 months ago · View

    I have updated the global LIBs with a new version of the form-framework with specific fixes for IE as follows:

    IE8 – Fully functional only known styling issues are with check-box hovered states and inability to float right the submit.

    IE7 – Only missing function is the WYSIWYG text-area, with additional styling problems for radio-buttons and check-boxes.

    IE9 and IE6 have been untested, so would appreciate any and all feedback available for these browsers…

    In testing Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera, I was unable to find any missing functionality or styling, so again, please report if otherwise.

  • Mark Smalley posted an update in the project AvatarLaulima Form Framework:   1 year, 4 months ago · View

    Full Internet Explorer 7+ compatibility is very close to completion – two crazy minor CSS bugs with check-boxes and submit buttons, hope to have the working version added to our LIBs library by the end of the day…

  • Mark Smalley posted on the forum topic Tighter Styling Required in the project AvatarLaulima Form Framework:   1 year, 4 months ago · View

    A specific example not yet tackled is the Date Picker – where it would be better if the style properly replicated the same style used for the drop-downs, where this presently becomes difficult not knowing if the calendar opens above or below the text field. In addition, absolute positioning is presently used to place the [...]

    The general styling could use a slighter tighter look and feel, where it seems text inputs and drop-downs are of slightly different heights and should obviously be the same – that and the spacing between elements and form-wrapper padding – it all needs improved consistency…

    It’s no surprise that Internet Explorer looks terrible, but even still, it MUST be stable down-to IE7 at least

  • Mark Smalley started the forum topic AJAX-DD – Clickoutside unstable in Chrome and Opera in the project AvatarLaulima Form Framework:   1 year, 4 months ago · View

    The “clickoutside” function that closes the AJAX-DD when a user clicks on something outside of the corresponding form-wrapper is not 100% stable in any of the browsers, but this seems especially apparent in Opera and Chrome, so needs to be stabilised.

    The AJAX-DD reset button does not appear to reset the “selected” message state of the button.
