Hi,

Apologies for the cross-posting, but...

Axure RP Design Library v1.0 has been released.

AXLIB is is an open source project to create a robust design library of

Multi-select on the web

Hi All,

Imagine you have a web page that displays 100 thumbnails of 100px by 100px
pictures. Futhermore, let's say the user is a non-technical person in their
thirties. What is the best way to enable the described user to choose the
majority of the thumbnails excluding certain ones? For example, let's say
the user wanted to select 95 of the 100 pictures.

to select the pictures, the user could rubber band select the 100 pictures
or press [ctrl + a].

Error messages for edit-in-place forms

I'm working on an Ajax app that will have edit-in-place forms (a.k.a. inline
editing). Page has read-only data; parts of the data are editable. User
chooses to edit a part; that part turns into an editable form. When user
saves changes, the form converts back to read-only data (this happens
without a page reload).

The fields in the forms are required.
