So how will the user know that they must use the mouse wheel to navigate pre/next year or months? For me, it's not good usability-wise.
- goodness 17y agoAlso, I use a laptop with no scroll wheel. There are ways to do scrolling, like clicking both buttons, but it doesn't seem to send all the scroll wheel events. So I can't even find a way to get that version of the calendar to work. An alternative to both might be to use a linear fisheye. It would just need a selection for 31 days at the bottom, 12 months in the middle, and a few years at the top. The thing that you would probably need to change for the fisheye is not scrolling between months from the day row or years from the months row. In some ways, this is a bit more intuitive anyway.
- alkasimi 17y agoYou probably right, but "can" is not "must" :-)
- Torn 17y agoAgreed, it wasn't immediately obvious how to scroll the non-buttoned version.
- stcredzero 17y agoIf it's responding to sideways scroll, then multitouch users may discover that by themselves. Update: no, it seems to be buggy in Safari and scrolling is soaked up by the browser, so I can't two finger scroll on the calendar.
