Hello list, I am beginning work on converting a legacy db/app to rails. For now, I am not having too much trouble with the dataside, but I am a bit unsure of how to proceed on the view side. In particular, data entry users currently sit in front of a terminal and use the keyboard as the exclusive input device. Since the app has been around for quite some time, they are fairly proficient with the keyboard. I''m not too sure how to allow for efficient keyboard use in the browser. Tab ordering doesn''t always seem . . . ordered (my version of firefox likes to jump over select boxes). Also, there are serious data integrity issues with the old db, so I would like to constrain user input for many fields via select boxes. Yet, personally, I find using the keyboard alone for select boxes a bit awkward. I could try an autocomplete text field and validate the input, but that feels a bit weird. In short, I want to reduce the amount of time users have to spend going from keyboard to mouse to keyboard to mouse when entering data and I was curious if anyone in the community had tackled this issue and/or has any tips. Thanks. Brad -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
