Nitobi Uprades Ajax Component Suite with Safari Support, Dreamweaver Extensions and New Grid Component

Today, Nitobi Inc. launches the newest version of Complete UI, a suite of Ajax-powered components that help developers build great user experiences on the web.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) April 28, 2008 -- Nitobi Inc. enhances its Ajax component suite today with the release of Complete UI Q2 2008. Today's release strengthens the popular Ajax development tools with Safari 3 support, a new hierarchical grid component, a variety of new themes, and multi-component Dreamweaver extensions that make use-cases like master-detail grids even easier. Complete UI is available for download at www.nitobi.com/download/.

Complete UI is a suite of Ajax-powered components that significantly improve user experiences for any web application. Complete UI is designed to help developers build great user experiences on the web. Powered by Ajax, Complete UI off-the-shelf components save developers the time and effort of building their own UI interactions from scratch. Nitobi components have been popular with Ajax developers since Nitobi Grid and ComboBox first launched in 2005. Complete UI solves web app usability challenges with easy user interactions powered by Ajax. In addition to delivering web apps with exceptional UI design, Nitobi's off-the-shelf components save developers hundreds of hours of development time.

"Adding good usability to web applications is difficult, even for senior developers. With Complete UI, we've packaged a suite of out-of-the-box, easy to implement Ajax components that immediately make sites more usable, even sites built by beginner developers," said Andre Charland, Nitobi CEO.

"Nitobi Grid allowed our development team to immediately configure and utilize a mature, production-ready component. Any attempt to custom build a grid component would likely result in a lengthy development process," said David Huffman, Senior Developer at Corporate Technology Partners.

The Complete UI suite includes:

• Grid -- A cross-browser spreadsheet with Excel 'copy/paste', LiveScrolling, and more.
• TreeGrid - A new, hierarchical grid component.
• ComboBox -- A drop-down menu with autocomplete functionality, similar to Google Suggest.
• Calendar -- A high-performance calendar picker that can be used with Nitobi Grid or in standalone web applications.
• Callout -- A rich, skinnable tool-tip that prompts users with real-time feedback and helpful instructions as they navigate through an application.
• Fisheye -- A tool bar menu featuring fisheye magnification, similar to Apple OS X tool bar.
• Spotlight -- A tool for creating stylish guided tours of websites and applications.
• Tabstrip -- Folder tabs for navigating to different sections of a web application via Ajax or iFrame requests.
• Tree -- A hierarchical data view, similar to the folder view in Windows Explorer.
• Ajax Toolkit -- A library of fully-documented tools used in Nitobi components that can be re-used in your own applications, or to build your own components.
