Modal windows are sometimes called heavy windows or modal dialogs because they often display a dialog box. User interfaces typically use modal windows to command user awareness and to display emergency states, though interaction designers argue they are ineffective for that use. [1] Modal windows are prone to mode errors. [1] [2] [3]
Bootstrap (formerly Twitter Bootstrap) is a free and open-source CSS framework directed at responsive, mobile-first front-end web development. It contains HTML, CSS and (optionally) JavaScript-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation, and other interface components.
In his book The Humane Interface, Jef Raskin defines modality as follows: "An human-machine interface is modal with respect to a given gesture when (1) the current state of the interface is not the user's locus of attention and (2) the interface will execute one among several different responses to the gesture, depending on the system's current state."
If true, templates referred to in an article are simply deleted from previews; otherwise, they're shown as raw wikitext. popupPreviewRawTemplates: true, false: If true, template pages (that is, pages in the Template: namespace) are previewed entirely as raw wikitext; otherwise, an attempt is made to render them in the preview ...
Non-modal or modeless dialog boxes are used when the requested information is not essential to continue, and so the window can be left open while work continues elsewhere. A type of modeless dialog box is a toolbar which is either separate from the main application, or may be detached from the main application, and items in the toolbar can be used to select certain features or functions of the ...
Modal alert dialogs are prone to produce mode errors due to their unrequested nature. A study to appear at the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society showed that when a user dialog appears, the primary goal of users is typically to get rid of them as soon as possible [2] even without any analysis of the causes for the dialog ...
New option in the commercial Advanced Code editor plugin for opening said source-code editor in the edit window rather than a nested dialog box, two new API functions for selecting words from the insertion point location, new commercial plugins for generating inline css, and for formatting a document with so-called 'smart' typography.
The user attention is not in the dialog window but in the process of saving a file (focus on the action, not the interface), thus the window itself is always modal. (The dialog would not be modal in the Raskin's sense while the user is dragging the window, for example; but that is a marginal case).
