Nitobi Complete UI currently includes 10 crossbrowser Ajax components:

Grid

Rich User Experience - Users can resize columns, copy and paste data with the mouse, navigate with the keyboard, perform in-place editing, and scroll through huge datasets as though they were working with a desktop application.

Minimal Coding Required - A declarative interface makes customizing the behaviour of your grid quick and easy. Extend the built in features using the JavaScript API

Cross Browser - Nitobi components have full support for an array of modern browsers including Internet Explorer (IE 6+), Firefox, Mozilla 1.3+, Camino, and Netscape 7+

Performance - An XML-based Ajax data architecture allows for high-performance rendering of large amounts of data. Allows users to sort, scroll, edit, and save huge datasets with the speed of desktop software.

Extendable - Integrate the component into your application architecture with the robust JavaScript API. Define custom behaviours, tap into internal events and even combine with open source Ajax frameworks like Dojo and Prototype

ComboBox

Six Search Modes - Featuring paging, filtering, smartlist (like GMail and Outlook), smartsearch (fuzzy substring autocompletion), compact (type-ahead only with no drop-down), and unbound modes

Ajax Support - Perform on-the-fly data requests without postbacks. A highly optimized transport technique minimizes network traffic and provides a smoother user experience

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.
