love your work dude!!!

[gwtfanb0y]

Very nice work!

[Christian Goudreau]

Nice work.

Two things I have to say from my fast visit, but that's two thing you probaly already know.

1- History Management

2- Your animation. I have done something more smooth than that, so I assume that it's an incomplete work ? We see the desapearance and it's not smooth at all.

Really nice work again !

Hey Joe, nice work, as I am new to GWT I don't know, but I guess it's possbile, can we have the drop down to get dropped when clicked anywhere on the dropdown rather then only when clicked on the arrow on the rightmost side, that will make the clicking easier.

Regards,
Abdullah

[Joe]

Yes Sure Abdullah,
all you have to do is to add to the textbox the same clickhandler
given to the arrow image.
Oh btw, this drop down widget is a customized widget. Actually it's
the same widget as the suggestbox that you see in the quick search.
It depends on how you want to create the widget i use in every project
all i have to do is to change the web service url of the data that
feeds the widget.
Plus, you can easily change the border of the textbox, the image of
the arow and every single little detail from CSS. It's not the same
drop down (gwt ListBox)
that depends on the browser, as u know, in firefox it looks different
from internet explorer, but this widget, is flexible in design, in web
service and you can use it
as suggestbox or drop down.

Hope i answered your question and thank's for your post.

Regards,
Joe

Hi Christian,
thank's for your post, I just want to make a point that i didn't find
history management useful or usable here
as i don't have pages and the website consists of searching for a
property either by type or by location
and you get a popup result with all the data available.
But sure history management is a great and important section in GWT.

Second, as for the animation, sure it is not yet optimized as you know
it's a timer and the more resources
(RAM and CPU) this slideshow takes, the more smoothness you get. Sure
the timing, the delay, the speed,
the number of the images and the amount of pixels each image slides,
all of this can be optimized.
Hopefully we will work on this in the future, but the client had to
get this website online soon, they had an exposition.

Thank's again for your comment and I'm glad you like it.

Regards,

Joe

Hello Everyone,

Please visit this thread if you're interested in a new widget i have
built called WindowPanel.

http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/thread/1053a03dee716aa1#

This new widget extends DialogBox and contains no JSNI code.

it has 4 functionalities: mionimize, maximize/restore, close, and
resize.

[mariyan nenchev]

Hi,
great, keep going.
There is one thing i need to know, how did you customize this tab panel. I was trying to do the same tab bars but no success with decorated panel. You may show sample code :)
Regards.

[Joe]

Hi Mariyan,

Thank's for your post, well, first, this is not a tab panel,
unfortunately.

The home page was designed in dreamweaver(HTML page) than the whole
objects, I mean textboxes, images, listboxes, etc.... are removed, and
replaced byt gwt widgets.

So you go like:
HTMLPanel homepage = new HTMLPanel("here you put your html code
without the html widgets, but with IDs");
then your create your widgets with styles width, etc ... then you
call:
homepage.add(widget, "corresponding id in the html code");

Hope this was helpful :)

[sathya]

Good one.But it is taking time to loak all images and text boxes.I
feel you can make it still fast as user doesnt feel to wait to load
everything

> > Regards.- Hide quoted text -

[Joe]

Well, You're right Sathya,

it is taking time, this is because the website contains lots of
tables,
horizontalpanel, htmlpanel, verticalpanel, etc ...

TextBoxes on the other hand do not take long, what takes long is
every dropdown, this is a customized widget built from scratch,
this too needs to be optimized.

The website has lot of images that load at startup, the website
doesn't take benefit yet of the powerful GWT technique, ImageBundle.

So you have lot of HTTP round trips. The listboxes, dropdowns,
are loading their data on startup upon creation, this too, can be
optimized
by loading data on demand, which means on click on the drop down
arrow.

as for the structure, I am working on a new layout which is div + css,
no tables.

As soon as things get finished, i'll be posting them!

Regards,

Joe

Nice web site but do you think about the search engines ??
I'm not sure that the site is optimized for google search...

[Joe]

I am not well experienced in SEO, but as far as I know,
and from what I've read many times, I couldn't find a solution,
for optimizing a GWT Website for search engines.

There's a solution written by Ian Bambury.

But I couldn't find an official solution written by gwt team.

Therefore, if you're aware of a solution for that problem,
I would like to suggest to give us few hints or maybe,
if you could post something about it,

Thank's,
Joe
