Awesome collection of Web UI Widgets

I just received word today from Ed Boelzner that his collection of Web UI widgets are now available for purchase at his website, Stedy.com. He's now made them available as ASP.NET controls that you can bind to XML data so you can drag n drop them from the vs.net toolbar. Trust me, they're very cool - you owe it to yourself to at least check them out if you're doing any kind of web application projects.

I used his 2k3Select, 2k3Menu, 2k3MenuSelect, and 2k3Toolbar (Button Bar) widgets for a project I've previously mentioned here on my blog. Yes, they're IE only since they make use of behaviors but, I don't think you can do what he's done without using behaviors.

  • Two problems - their menu doesn't close when you click outside of it (very annoying) and the whole site runs within a frame, making it very difficult to link to a specific product page. Oh and - there are no product description pages, at least I couldn't find any :( And he doesn't think the same can be done without behaviors? A menu can be done using styles alone, even without scripting, but it won't work in IE because IE doesn't support CSS (well, it doesn't support most of it). Oh and the latest is DOM + Styles, not DHTML and tables (note: script handlers are not URLs, the only reason jscript: code works is because the script engine treats jscript: as a label)... But I must give Ed something - he really managed to create the desktop look and feel, minus all the user customization (font sizes, colors, and so on).

  • Jerry - you think the same desktop look and feel is possible without behaviors? I'd be very impressed if someone could pull that off. and IE doesn't support CSS? Like which parts exactly? I've usually found that non-IE browsers have lack of CSS support, not IE.

  • and where on Earth do you think you found such a thing, Mr. Mauss? IE is the scourge of anyone who uses CSS.

  • OK - I'm willing to learn here...(pardon my ignorance)..what type of CSS stuff does IE not support? Personally I use FireFox and like to stick to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.0 standards, so what type of CSS stuff doesn't IE support? Is that why IE offers stuff like filters with the DXImageTransform styles?

  • My brother recommended I might like this web
    site. He was totally right. This post actually made my day.
    You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this information!
    Thanks!

  • I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what you've got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    that it's truly informative. I'm gonna watch out for brussels.
