Alpha Five Version 10 Feature Peek #7: Codeless Ajax Special: liquid forms and watermarks

Sometimes, the size of the screen matters when a user is accessing an application you've created. So how do you build an effective application to be used when screen real estate is limited, such as an Ajax Web app that will run on an iPhone?

That's why "liquid" forms are an increasingly popular platform for running Web applications today. Liquid forms automatically reconfigure themselves based on the screen size. That's necessary for something like a smart phone, when the screen real estate is severely limited.

This first video we put together will show how the grid makes it easy to design liquid forms.



Watermark fields are also an effective tool for dealing with small screen sizes. Watermark fields let you put the field label inside the field itself. This is a great way to save space when you don't have space to spare.
