Retrograde: Part One

Working Area:

I designed it to have some nifty UI stuff like an expandable tree view of pages, drag-n-drop reordering of pages, page previews using AJAX. You know, the standard web 2.0ish stuff.

• How to handle Drag-n-drop
  • Look further up the track
  • Make the link smart, point to the HTML version of the page and have the onclick handler return false
• How to handle expandable trees when there’s no AJAX
  • Show all the entries, don’t show the ‘twisties’
• How to handle AJAX page previews
  • Look for features you can disable
  • Remove button if JS isn’t available

Testing

Does your application work if JavaScript is disabled? It should.
