I've being working with a lot of WPF, and I used a lot of listviews to convey information. I wanted to create something like a detailed listview.
An example of what I'm looking for is the "listview" type interface on Facebook's newsfeed, or even Stack Overflow's question browsing list.
The data will come from an XML document. So far my solution was to use divs within divs, but unfortunately it ended up being very messy. I also tried making them with tables and then hiding the table borders (which worked to an extent) but I'm sure there must be a better way! I also heard using tables is not a very good way to do it.
I'm not even sure if the word "Listview" is the right term to describe what I'm trying to talk about. If there's a different term can you please also answer that so that I can search for that on Google too (because I've only been searching for Listview's in HTML/Javascript).
Thanks.
You can try listview plugins with ExtJs or Jquery.
Here's the listView example / doc from Jquery mobile
http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/lists/docs-lists.html
Listview would be the term to identify the structure. The best possible way to implement it would be to use an un-ordered list ex: and style it with CSS. Its simple and not too messy.

I have been looking at several other suggested frameworks (and others) to fulfil our needs, but the examples in some seem to be too basic, or don't really show what I'm looking for.
I would like to create a flow-based programming type client-side editor.
Here is a basic wire-frame I created to assist (Something similar to the soon-to-be discontinued Yahoo! Pipes editor, but with different features...):
Using the AngularJS Drag and Drop library gives me some of the features (containers, items), but I can't see this working the way I'm hoping.
NoFlowJS is not what I am looking for, although this is pretty cool.
I would like the user to make their selections from the LHS, where if a group like Cats is dragged over to the right, a new "Selected Groups" section would contain all subsequent. Similarly with Cities, below. Basically being able to define a grouping type container.
In this case, Cats is a grouping of cat types, Dogs, the same, etc.
The user can then link the Selected Groups to the Selected Cities - so be able to link grouping containers on the RHS.
This last requirement isn't difficult to implement with regular JS, however, some frameworks I have seen are GL type and may not be as simple to implement: if double-clicking on any of the individual groups, I would have a modal window pop up with the group's properties, ie. Cats {tabby, calico, etc.} (or do anything else).
The lists on the LHS are scrollable.
The current technology stack is AngularJS, KendoUI .Net MVC5, C#.
I see this as all being client-side until the user wishes to save the current status.
I would appreciate some suggestions - maybe some are a combination of different technologies, but all the same, would like some direction on this.
Thank you.
I believe I found what I was looking for with ng-sortable.
Great demo here.
I would just use a side by side select list. For example, like:
http://www.jqueryscript.net/form/jQuery-Plugin-For-Side-By-Side-Multi-Items-Pick-List.html
Drag and drop won't work on a mobile/tablet device and is tedious to do with a mouse. :-)
I want to create a tab control, which supports both static and dynamic tabs.
The dynamic tabs are of N different types, and display their contents according to some id.
I would like to do all that using routing (ui-router probably), since I would like deep linking and all the other benefits that come with it.
I've been trying to find an example on the web, but couldn't find any (I did find some questions resembling this one on other sites though, alas, they were not answered).
The closest thing I found was ui-router-extras which offer functionality that seem to be a good starting place, however, I'm still not sure if what I would like to achieve would be possible using it.
Any ideas if this is possible, any guidelines or suggestions on how to get started ?
I think the best way to create this if you have a lot of tabs would be using a controller for the tabs which has the scope for all sections you want to have, and then a view which ng-repeats through all the tabs, populating your view.
I recommend for the style that you try bootstrap's nav-tabs if they fit your design (http://getbootstrap.com/components/#nav-tabs)
If you have few sections, you could just hardcode the tabs into the view, each with it's ui-sref.
Background
I am tasked with developing the front-end to an analytics product that presents the information to the user in a customizable dashboard like the one used by Google Analytics:
- Dashboard is comprised of draggable widgets arranged in a grid layout
- Widgets have a drag handle which can be clicked by the user to start dragging
- Widgets can be re-ordered by dragging and dropping the widget
Question
Part 1. Using jQuery (or any other open source Javascript API) can anyone explain to me how such a feature is implemented, from a high level overview.
Part 2. Can you recommend any resources for me to read that may be relevant to implementing this feature, or any foreseeable related features? (books, links, api docs, tutorials)
EDIT This one looks even better and more maintained! GRID by UberVU
Next one on the list is gridster.js
PS: I know this is an old thread but since this question is the first hit in Google I think its worth listing some newer libraries.
You can easily implement this.
You will get required info from
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/inettuts/
and
http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/inettuts-with-cookies/
First what comes to head is jQuery UI.
Use HTML 5
http://html5doctor.com/native-drag-and-drop/
You can find a lot of info here:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/
Use jQuery, and get on the Demo & Doc page to see how D&D is being used.
http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/
http://jqueryui.com/demos/droppable/
If you wanna dive into a Widget Page/Dashboard architecture, and would like to see how others did it, take a look at Omar AL Zabir's book
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Web-2-0-Portal-ASP-Net/dp/0596510500/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1
I am pretty sure this one is going to make you happy!

I want to build a tool (with HTML5, JS and CSS3), which helps customers to arrange elements on a website mockup (e.g. text blocks and pictures). I want to save the position of these
elements in order to reconstruct the whole mockup website later.
Maybe a grid system would be the best?
alt text http://img.skitch.com/20090817-t4p54kbxw3rj58mkmqxspj4qch.png
I would be happy to get some ideas on approaches for this challenge. Are there any similar projects, I should take a look at?
Regards,
Stefan
YUI has lots of widgets for this sorta thing with lots of examples.
Drag & Drop: Examples
Especially this example
Drag & Drop: Using Interaction Groups
All you would have to do register a listener on the drop event to send an ajax request to the server and save the xy co-ordinates.
ALSO, if you want to do resizing as well
Resize Utility: Examples
They have a few really neat examples, including this image cropper
ImageCropper Control: Real Time Crop Feedback
The jQuery framework would help you in synchronizing the JS and DHTML events. As far as other projects that use this, I'm not aware of any, but a grid model seems like a good way to go. Just make sure it's more precise than the 125px you currently have :)
EDIT: The website that was mentioned in the DHTML book I mentioned in my comment was http://www.panic.com . You can take a look at their JavaScript code for some inspiration, as they implement a drag and drop system for downloading their products.
Not sure if it'll help, but my "PanelManager" might make things a little easier (if you're not already using a larger framework with similar functionality):
DP_PanelManager
"Panels" are just normal DOM elements with extensions for common actions/modifications (moving, resizing, etc). Panels can exist within one or more "PanelManagers" which allow you to treat them as a single unit (sorting, looping, etc).
Look at the example "Drag-and-Drop with Ordering" for a simplified example of (what I think) you're looking for. You would then need to do the same kind of looping to save whatever information you want (probably just name and position).
In any case there might be some code there you can rip out - feel free to fold, spindle and/or mutilate.
I'm looking to utilize jQuery to handle a few very common requests we get for data tables of varying sizes: scrolling, sorting, and dynamic filtering.
I've handled scrolling in the past by having two separate tables with fixed width columns, along with associated div containers for the "actual" scrolling. However, this method doesn't work with any of the jQuery-based sorting table extensions that I've come across (tablesorter being my favorite so far) as they want everything in a single table.
For filtering, they're requesting something akin to how Excel and SharePoint lists do it (basically all column values are listed in a dropdown, allowing the user to select/deselect them). I haven't seen anything like that yet, although it sounds possible.
One other related nice-to-have feature would be the ability to "freeze" a column for horizontal scrolling.
Ideally I'd like an existing extenstion, but if none are out there I'd also appreciate suggestions from any jQuery gurus on how to best implement it. My current thoughts are to dive into tablesorter and extend/update it as necessary.
To hopefully keep things focused, paging is not an option (along with anything server based, for that matter).
Update:
I do appreciate the answers so far, but none of the options given so far touch on the filtering aspect at all (that said, I must admit that jqGrid looks very good for some future projects I have). In the meantime I'll work on a custom filtering solution; if it works out I'll update again.
I came across this question as I was searching for a sortable table plugin myself; I really wasn't impressed with any of the suggested widgets, but later I discovered DataTables, and I was quite impressed. I recommend checking it out.
Maybe this excellent plug-in could do it:
Demo page
It's called jQGrid, here is the project page:
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jqGrid
I would encourage you to try out the Flexigrid.
It has a lot of great features and I personally think it looks more professional than the jqGrid.
It doesn't have some of the features that you asking for, but I think it could be a good start. It would be great if you could work on adding some of those features to the code base.
If you are coding in c#, then I posted a blog entry about how to use LINQ to Reflection to bind JSON to the Flexigrid... if you are using another language there are other examples you can find on Flexigrid's Website & Google Group page.
a simple jQuery Scrollable Table Plugin
As mentioned in my update, I ended up using a custom filtering extension (closed source, unfortunately). I've recently started using SlickGrid and it's now my go-to grid.
I'd like to add the Laravel flavored DataTables (GitHub, jquery DataTables API) - perfect if you already work with PHP/Laravel.
Extra, koalyptus/TableFilter another custom filter table (actually, my fav).
