    BootMetro : Create web apps with Windows 8 Metro user interface

    BootMetro provides simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for web apps that wants to use the “Windows 8 MetroUI” style, without the need to run on Windows 8. It is built on top of Twitter Bootstrap and was originally inspired by the Metro UI CSS by Sergey Pimenov.

    The framework permit to create web applications with the look&feel of the not-yet-released Windows 8 MetroUI style. Maybe not ideal for internet web sites, the MetroUI style can be adopted for modern intranet web sites. I’ve choosen to use as base the awesome Twitter Bootstrap framework, applying a set of customizations in pure css (but planning to do it in LESS for future version).

    A CSS/JS solution for tables that allows them to shrink on small devices without sacrificing the value of tables, comparison of columns.Our solution for responsive tables requires two included files (both linked on this page): responsive-tables.css and responsive-tables.js.
    The JS will help us create some new elements on small devices, so we don’t have to modify our table markup on the page. The CSS applies the requisite positioning and overflow styles to make the new elements work.

    dynoTable: A jQuery plugin for creating editable tables

    dynoTable: A jQuery plugin for creating editable tables

    I was working on a project that required the GUI to allow the user to dynamically add, remove and rearrange various form fields contained in table rows. The tricky part was that the UI needed to have this functionality for several different types of elements across several different forms. For instance, one set of fields was for adding and removing specifications to a product while another set of fields was for adding images to a product.

    DynoTable makes an html table editable. With it you can:

    • Add rows
    • Remove rows
    • Clone rows
    • Click and Drag to Re-arrange rows (If you have Jquery UI included on
      your page)

    The dynoTable defaults will probably handle most use cases. If you do not require any of the functionality it provides, you can simply omit the classes from your table. However, dynoTable also provides a number
    of properties and callback functions to configure it further if needed.

    Content of HTML table cells can be dragged to another table cell or another table. It isn’t difficult to define onMouseMove handler and change top / left element styles to move the object. In case with tables, you will have to determine somehow destination table cell. Attaching onMouseOver handler on table cells will not work, because browser doesn’t fire events to the elements beneath the dragged object.
