Description AJAX NAB Name Picker In Catalog
No


A JavaScript API that allows the developer to add NAB Name Picker Functionality to their forms
(see Screenshots for what it looks like)

The API uses AJAX, using the YAHOO 2.2.0 UI framework (tweaked for Dom Servers) to query the NAB based on the characters typed by the user. It then returns the selected NAME and other NAB information about the selected person to the form and updates the required NAMES field. It can be tailored to update other fields with the additional material returned from the NAB.

The API does NOT require any changes to be made to the NAB

Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
Enter the contributors or owners here who you want to receive notifications and questions by email.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
