Web Design Ireland

I’ve been working on a project at work recently, and having finished it (or so I thought) it was handed over to someone else to test. Its amazing just how much effort you really need to put into testing a web application thoroughly. A scary amount of bugs and test cases can creep in - more so than a traditional offline app. I’ve found that alot of bugs creep in through textboxes not being masked - something that is easy to do in a traditional app - but near impossible to do elegantly in a web based application.

Thanks to the .NET validation controls some things can be taken care of with a nicely formatted regular expression validator control - which handles server and client side stuff for you.

Widgets are also a useful one, which reminds me - there are plenty of calendar widgets out there - but not many javascript digital clock widgets. So at some stage im going to develop my own wee javascript version. Watch this space for a release.
