Redesigning the Government, One Home Page at a Time

design, ux

Laura:

Recently, I had the happy opportunity to participate in Sunlight Lab's Design for America Challenge. Happy, because I'm gung-ho about this organization's stated mission: "To make government data more accessible and comprehensible to the American public." The five grand prize was nothing to sneeze at, either.

Confirming your users choice to navigate away from a node edit form.

Stop! Who goes there?!? I know it is typically poor form to prevent a user from leaving a page with an annoying javascript popup, but sometimes it is exactly what you need. If you have an inexperienced editorial staff working under deadline, sometimes they are going 1000mph and do things that they later regret, one of which is leaving a node edit form before they have actually saved their edits. It’s pretty easy to do and can be very unobtrusive when done correctly.
