Introducing dhtmlxDataView: Flexible, Easy, Multipurpose

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Have you ever been faced with a need to display objects with the same set of properties and behavior? I’m sure you have. Lists of contacts, sets of documents or files, product catalogs for online stores, image collections, etc.

When we first tried to create a solution to simplify this task, we ended up with dhtmlxFolders. Now we’ve moved further in our efforts to make the component more flexible and easier to use, and we developed dhtmlxDataView.

What is dhtmlxDataView?

dhtmlxDataView is a JavaScript component that shows a collection of objects according to a certain template. Each object is rendered as a container with fixed sizes. The layout of properties in a container depends on the template that you’ve defined. For now, it is the most flexible component from the DHTMLX product line. You can control any visual aspect of rendering.

dhtmlxForm. Filling the Gap.

Monday, March 15th, 2010

With the coming update of the DHTMLX library, we’re going to introduce a new component, which will be also available as a separate download. This component was probably missing in our library by accident, but now it’s time to fix it! This component is dhtmlxForm.

By offering dhtmlxForm to our users, we plan to solve the following tasks:

  • Make form building and handling easy and convenient to those who are already working with DHTMLX.
  • Simplify data loading into the form, and provide an easy way to save data on the server.
  • Provide convenient ways to do form validation.
  • Match the form interface to the DHTMLX skin design.
