That country selector is really good, Erics; thanks for adding it to my old UX.SE question about country selection. That question has been getting loads of new responses in the past few days, glad to see that old questions with an accepted answer can still get attention. Good for the UX.SE community.
I wonder if it would be nice to see why each item in the drop down is being shown - based on the characters so far eg type Eng and you get United Kingdon (England) with England in lighter font.
I think that's overkill really for a country selector. i'd make an assumption that the majority of people who are picking a country out of a list on a form will basically pick the closest one to their entry. The 'fuck it, that'll do, close enough' approach to form completion.
Start typing England, it shows 'United Kingdom', so they pick that.
I guess some analytics would be useful. If people are searching for specific regions and not returning correct results then you could monitor and adapt it.
I notice it doesn't have 'Dubai' in there, but does pick up UAE correctly. That sort of issue could be spotted and rectified depending on the analytics.
Leaves United States and United Kingdom at the top of the list, but I guess that is quite common (i'd like to see them appear down in the 'U' section as well though).
I start out looking up something on electronics and two hours later I'm reading about the differences between two extinct dialects of Chinese with no idea how I got there.
I like how the jquery example page references their article on Smashing Magazine but doesn't actually give you a link to it so you have to go find it yourself.
I have a couple of questions here:
1) What if I have two news stories posted for a day should I bullet the titles or how should I format them so that it stands out more that they are separate news topics? What if a single news title extends to a second line? Should I indent the second line?
2) ...
Everything about this one just screams off-topic. The subject alone is almost word for word a match to the examples we've given in the past for what is an inappropriate question here.
I'm working on a web app that will show the size of certain files, and I'm wondering if there's any consensus about how to report the units of bytes. Technically the IEC has weighed in with an official standard, but I'm not sure that's worth much.
Several options:
"1 KB" means 1024 bytes (as W...
MAybe I'm just too techy, but I've never met anyone who thoguht the hard drive manufacturer was right and their computer was wrong when tiher 500GB drive shows up as 465
Maybe for metric users I guess, here in America I don't think most people recognize SI prefixes above kilo
besides, even if they do think it's 1000 bytes and their computer always reports a file as 3KB, you're still breaking convention once you display a different value since the user doesn't know the actual count of bytes
you're just making the numbers different for no reason
Is there any positive reason why someone might implement an auto-playing audio feature onto a webpage? I seem to see it all the time, especially on band pages and so on. The frustrating thing is trying to find the little 'flash player' box to mute or pause the track (if they've bothered to includ...
