I’ve gradually been developing my menu building application into a distributed web system. It uses OpenLaszlo for the building front-end, java & jsps for the database storage and retrieval facilities and OpenLaszlo to correctly display the menu from provided settings.
Here’s a few screenshots to spice up this at times rather bland blog!
Some nice features to note:
- dynamic data entry facility with ability to add and remove data as desired (I’d hope to standadise it into a generic ‘data entry’ class so it can be reused under different circumstances).
- color swatch components with preset colors to select as well as RGB color pickers
- dynamic example that updates as styling options are chosen
Plus, while I can’t easily show it, there’s a little bit of animation involved too.
