  • Filed under: Form Tools @ 2:29 pm

    I just released a new Form Tools module: “Mass Edit”, which lets you edit multiple submissions at the same time. Simple stuff, but it still took a few weeks to find the time to get it all done.

    I’m just writing up the documentation now.

    I wrote a little Prototype extension last week for a new Form Tools module I’m working on. Simple stuff: it was written purely for usability’s sake. Sometimes, when editing tabulated data it makes sense for the tab index to work horizontally (the default browser behaviour), so you can edit each field in a row, row by row. Other times, it makes more sense to edit the data vertically – updating the values in a table, column by column. This module was written to do exactly that: it lets the user toggle between horizontal and vertical tab indexing.

    I know it may seem like a small thing, but when it comes to usability the devil’s in the details…
