问题 I need to open a new tab or popup window, and then any other time the original source link is clicked, it updates the already open tab or window. Right now it just keeps opening a new tab and that's not the behavior that's expected. 回答1: Specify a custom target name: <a href="something.html" target="otherpage">Go to some page #1</a> <a href="something2.html" target="otherpage">Go to some page #2</a> This will "name" the other window/tab and open links with the same target in that page, or in

Usability of an endless/infinite scroll

北城余情 提交于 2019-12-22 06:47:13
问题 What are pros and cons of this technique (see Softfolio for an example). Two things I personally thought of are as follows: Impossible to tell someone where an item of interest is located (like, you probably won't say "324-th row, second column") Broken navigation when you return back to an infinitely scrolled page. What else can you think of? And what do you personally think of this approach in general. Would you use this in you projects? 回答1: I think it is "neat" but requires more visual

Web usability: alert/notification - how to attract attention?

丶灬走出姿态 提交于 2019-12-21 23:13:23
问题 I'm building a web application where one of the features causes users to be notified in real-time when an alert pertaining to them occurs, similar to the big orange bar in Stack Overflow. I have a few options, and I was wondering if there was a usability guideline on the best way to go about this. One option is to have a small notifications box on the screen that flashes colors when an alert appears, but I'm worried that a simple, repeated change in color won't be sufficient to attract the

扶醉桌前 提交于 2019-12-21 12:07:53
问题 Here are some examples of what I mean: google.com - focus is set on the "search" box gmail.google.com - focus is set on the "user name" field (actually, most web email clients do this). stackoverflow, ask a question - focus is set on the "title" box. Sometimes, this is a convenient feature - e.g., on Google. From a usability standpoint, however, is it really considered a good feature to have on login pages? Personally, I have often entered my user name, started to enter my password, then the

Are there any alternatives to recaptcha.net, for stopping spam?

梦想的初衷 提交于 2019-12-21 03:48:38
问题 A member of my company in greater ranking than myself refuses to use recaptcha.net on his website to thwart spam off of a public form. He thinks it would be difficult for anyone coming to our site to enter their information since the Turing Tests are "so darn hard to read". Is there an alternative to using this method? That doesn't contain these sorts of difficult to read images? (Okay stupid question...if it were up to me we'd use recaptcha because everyone else on earth does...but I just

问题 Over the past few days, Ive asked a few questions to solve my font problem. I was using a variety of obscure fonts for my design. I was using @font-face, and trying to figure out ways of making my backup fonts in the family change size if they were used. It has been way too complicated, and I have decided to simplify things and use a more popular set of fonts in my family. font-family:Century Gothic,arial,sans-serif; I have chosen to use Century Gothic as my primary font (which I thought was
