OK, I am still unsure if you really know what I mean 🙂 The dropdown looks good, and i really like autoopen. But this is a flaw that make it unusable for us. You get a feeling because of this detail that its not finished the UI.

Can you please explain, Why should the page scroll, when you want to scroll the items in the list? I cant understand why you implemented it this way. I cant see any logic behind it?

And if you really implemented it with this intention, that the parent window is scrolling, why is this behavior in that case different between if you scroll with mouse or keyboard. If I scroll with the keyboard, the parent window sits still.

We can take this very edit window which I write in at this very moment as an example. When i scroll either with the mouse or keyboard. it scrolls the content of the edit window. Not the parent window. Why isn’t this window implemented the same, that the parent window moves when I scroll inside the edit window?

This is things that makes users very uncomfortable and frustrated, when things looks like they are broken. I maybe really want to see the position I am in the page when i select for instance a car model in a listbox. At least it feels very strange the windows moves up and down when I move around in the listbox.

I don’t think you understand what I mean.

Its impossible your intention was that the window, which the plugin is in, is scrolling, when you scroll the listbox. Is not one web page on the web that behaves like this. If I scroll the TV channels on CNN.com for instance, I don’t want the page to scroll.. just the list with channels .. 🙂

If you want I can take a screen capture and email to you so you see clearly what happens? Its maybe only on OS X this happens. You are maybe on linux or windows.

let me know where to send a capture so you can see exactly what I mean.

It would be good if you had support for have icons as well for categories, its usually for the categories I want icons.

Scrolling:
It is true this problem. What is ugly is this that the window where the dropdwonlist is in, scrolls at the same time you scroll in the dropdownlist. Its very confusing when two windows scrolls at the same time. This is with the mouse. Also Note I scroll inside the dropdownlist, not by dragging the dropdownlist scrollbar up and down. I am on OS X, and you hardly ever scroll by grabbing the scrollbar and move it up and down. Test it again like this in the first demo:

http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxdropdownlist/index.htm#demos/jqxdropdownlist/defaultfunctionality.htm

just focus the dropdownlist and move the mouse, i have a Apple Magical Mouse, and move my finger for scrolling up and down in the dropdownlist, at the same time the firefox window with the whole webpage starts to scroll up and down. This is clearly a showstopper, u cant have it like that. People would go crazy about what exactly is scrolling 🙂 It also starts to flicker the graphics with two windows scrolling inside each other.

In a usual Select the window stays still, only the dropdownlist scrolls when you scroll.

Search for a record in a grid.

i saw now that your nice jqxTreeGrid implement Find functionality in general. I simple want to have this functionality also in the jqxGrid as well 🙂 Its nice have it directly in the toolbar also, like in TreeGrid.

I aslo saw there are a number fo small detaisl differing between the Grid and TreGrid. like this with getting the total number of rows for instance. Would be nice if you flattened out jxTreeGrid so it had the same syntax as the jqxGrid.

i found one way, but i guess its some simpler way also.

var rows = $(“#jqxTreeGrid”).jqxTreeGrid(‘getRows’);
var noOfRows = 0;
var traverseTree = function(rows)
{
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
{
noOfRows += 1;
if (rows[i].records)
{
traverseTree(rows[i].records);
}
}
return noOfRows;
};
noOfRows = traverseTree(rows);

I would say you don’t need one. You can gather all ajax response in one php file, it becomes quite simple the code also. I wrote some very general crud functions that operates on any tables, a few lines each, then I could connect a handfull jqxGrids. No reason to complicate with a framework.

Ajax is much easier to program than traditional web programming, even if it sounds like it would be more difficult.

Besides this, take a look at the new Phalcon framework. Way of the future.
