Nitobi Complete UI Dreamweaver Extensions

What’s new in Complete UI?

Nitobi TreeGrid builds on the classic Ajax data grid developers use to display tables and spreadsheets. With TreeGrid, developers can view, edit, copy and paste hierarchical data into an Ajax data grid. Like Nitobi"s flagship Grid component, TreeGrid supports Excel copy and paste, in-place cell editing and live scrolling on top of the ability to display hierarchical data in an Ajax-powered user interface. Using the same simple declarative syntax as the rest of the Complete UI Ajax components TreeGrid is an easy way to display and manipulate data with complex relationships without needing to write any JavaScript.

Nitobi Calendar is a lightweight, high-performance DHTML calendar picker that can be easily integrated with and styled for any web application. Calendar enables users to easily pick calendar dates within a web application. In this release, Calendar performs faster and makes developers" lives easier with out-of-the-box localization and Dreamweaver integration.

• New! TreeGrid - Add an ultra-high speed hierarchical Ajax datagrid to your application. TreeGrid allows you to show master-detail relationships and even let users edit, copy, and paste the data.
• New! Safari Support - With the addition of Safari support to CompleteUI, you can provide fully cross-browser UI's that implement powerful, and dynamic user interface techniques.
• New Themes and Theming Features - Now you can choose from several new themes for your grid to match your layout and color scheme. You can also apply different themes to components on the same page. Check out the new Vista, Tiger, and Flex themes
• More Dreamweaver Plugins - Now you can easily combine a ComboBox and a Grid, or a Tree and a Grid, using our Dreamweaver extensions. It's never been easier to make our components talk to one another. Just use the Dreamweaver wizard and all your gethandlers and savehandlers will be automatically generated.
• Faster than Ever - The cornerstone components - Grid, and Combobox, are now 35% faster than before. There have been major improvements to both components, including improved keyboard support, trimmed-down HTML and XSLT resulting in faster rendering, better styling, and standards support.
