New Release 0.9.4 and jQuery Port

Despite the release of 0.9.4, which featured some bugfixes with selects and Opera 10, i'm pleased to announce that jQuery porting has finally begun. Thanks to dfilatov81 and his jQuery inheritance plugin, porting won't take as long as i had expected. After figuring out the jQuery API i managed to get the checkboxes module working already - took about 4 hours from the download of jQuery 1.4.2 to clicking a cfe-jquery checkbox. Stay tuned!

New Release 0.9.3

Despite the usual bugfixes, this release features a single compressed library file for all those of you who want to quickstart using cfe (i used yuicompressor for minifying). The integration therefore gets even easier (see http://customformelements.net/howto.php\). Enjoy!

Support for Attribute disabled added

HTML Elements with disabled set to true are now correctly handled by cfe. I modified the graphics and css to show the disabled state. It's even possible to disable/enable elements on-the-fly with javascript, if you use the provided methods $('myElem').disable() and $('myElem').enable(). Note: those methods only work with form elements defined by w3c (see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.12.1\)

CFE 0.9 released

Just released 0.9 of cfe. Be sure to read the ChangeLog and the installation notes.

This version will be the last before going 1.0, so please post any bugs you find.

After releasing 1.0 i'll port cfe to jQuery.

Big update ahead

I'm currently working on the last bugfixes for the new cfe version 0.9. It will offer advanced event handling and a more solid and flexible architecture. It will be possible to create any cfe dynamically via javascript without the need for a hard-coded html form element.

After v0.9 evaluation phase and bugfixes i'll move cfe to 1.0 stable and start porting it to jQuery.

Stay tuned.

Small update - more to come

Hi there,
since im currently busy with studies i have not much time for cfe - i apologize for this.
I still wanted to fix an annoying bug - the select field now gets auto-selected with the option you specify in the original select-html-element.

I'm planning some major improvements to the structure, but it may take some time...

Stay tuned and post bugreports :)

Thanks

Offer: Addon / Feature development

I'm about to write my diploma thus having not much time for the development of cfe. After graduating I want to spend some weeks in Japan with my friends.

We're big fans of the japanese culture and already took some lessons in Japanese to be prepared for our trip. While in Japan, we want to blog about our experiences and show you the beauty of this country while road-trippin' from Tokio to Nagasaki.... read more

Custom Form Elements reaches the second stage

Its been a while since i posted or updated something on sourceforge, but i was very busy with studies. I spent the last 3 days upgrading cfe to mootools 1.2 and throwing together a website to inform you better than ever about integration and usage of cfe. Check it out at customformelements.net. At the moments there are still a few bugs, so it would be great if yoou did some testing and submitting a bug reports through sourceforge. maik [mediavrog]

Yay for SF.net!
