VANCOUVER, USA: Solution provider for web-based software components Nitobi Inc., has announced the newest version of Complete UI, a suite of Ajax-powered components that help developers build great user experiences on the web.

Aimed at web developers, Complete UI strengthens the Ajax development tools with Safari 3 support, a new hierarchical grid component, a variety of new themes, and multi-component Dreamweaver extensions that make use-cases like master-detail grids even easier for any web application.
 
 "Adding good usability to web applications is difficult, even for senior developers. With Complete UI, we've packaged a suite of out-of-the-box, easy to implement Ajax components that immediately make sites more usable, even sites built by beginner developers," said Andre Charland, Nitobi CEO.

Complete UI is designed to help developers build great user experiences on the web. Powered by Ajax, Complete UI components save developers the time and effort of building their own UI interactions from scratch. In addition to delivering web apps with exceptional UI design, Nitobi's components save developers hundreds of hours of development time.

"Nitobi Grid allowed our development team to immediately configure and utilize a mature, production-ready component. Any attempt to custom build a grid component would likely result in a lengthy development process," said David Huffman, senior developer at corporate technology partners.

The Complete UI suite includes:

Grid -- A cross-browser spreadsheet with Excel 'copy/paste', LiveScrolling, and more.

TreeGrid - A new, hierarchical grid component.

ComboBox -- A drop-down menu with autocomplete functionality, similar to Google Suggest.

Calendar -- A high-performance calendar picker that can be used with Nitobi Grid or in standalone web applications.

Callout -- A rich, skinnable tool-tip that prompts users with real-time feedback and helpful instructions as they navigate through an application.

Fisheye -- A tool bar menu featuring fisheye magnification, similar to Apple OS X tool bar.

Spotlight -- A tool for creating stylish guided tours of websites and applications.

Tabstrip -- Folder tabs for navigating to different sections of a web application via Ajax or iFrame requests.

Tree -- A hierarchical data view, similar to the folder view in Windows Explorer.

Ajax Toolkit -- A library of fully-documented tools used in Nitobi components that can be re-used in your own applications, or to build your own components.

The Complete UI suite is platform-agnostic and works with a variety of development frameworks, including Java, PHP, ASP.Net, Classic ASP and Coldfusion.
