Mike Diehl wrote an article on Linuxjournal.com, "Managing Your Life With eGroupWare" that introduces eGroupWare, and how he uses it to manage life. It's a well written introduction and a good case study. pERP gets a mention in the second to last paragraph.

The Ajax Select Widget is used all over pERP to allow the user to select one entry from a potentially very large list. You'll see it any time you need to choose a stock item, shipment, invoice, etc. It worked, but not very well.

John Trudel did some work in January to get it going with Internet Exploder.
Raphaël Alla recently submitted a patch to make the tab key select the top entry.
Nudged on by these two, I finally added up and down arrow key support.

So now the user can type in a search term, hit the down arrow to select from their results, and press tab to go on to the next field. Or, if the user knows the exact reference (Stock number, for instance), they can enter the number, press tab, and the first (and only) result will be selected.

Much nicer. (0 comments)
