Hi,

Yes, but not built with the stock NetTalk UI, but it is built with 100% NetTalk.

In the video at the bottom of the screen you'll see (glimpses) of the UI.

Regards
Bill

Cool Don! I congratulate you, good job.
Now, how do you do it?
Any way of having a Demo of at least the menu and a browse with the css to make it work?
Im lost.

Demo attached.

It's a little rough.  I have since refactored it a little but you will get the idea.

Thank you for the kind words!

My apologies.

Move the custom.css and custonmenu.css into web/styles/

Remove the "remove" from the custom.js and move the file to web/scripts/

Run GzipAll.gz

It will work then.

Don't know.  I reported it to Bruce.

The behavior goes away if the browse is placed on a memory form.

Also, only seems to appear in div layout versus table layout.

Open the same browse via the menu.  Same browse but on memory form.  Displays normal behavior.

There is very little JavaScript there.  Only two functions to open and close the side panel.

The CSS really works the "magic."

The media query section of the custom.css:

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
   #leftspan-btn {display: block; margin: -83px 0px 0px 0px;}
   .nt-menu-div {display: none;}
   .nt-locate-button {display: none;}
   .nt-clear-button {display: none;}
   .header_text {font-size: 20px;}
   .nt-browse-header {margin: 25px 0px 0px 0px;}
}

is what performs most of the heavy lifting.  In fact, I think some of the css classes listed above are not even used in the example app.

Basically, I use the classes in the media query to modify existing css classes based upon the size of the screen.  In this case, a width of 600 pixels or less.  I hide, move, or otherwise modify elements on the displayed page to be more user friendly on smaller screens.

Thanks again Don, Im lookin at your app and I discover that the side menu is done manually in the page header tag, is there any way of do this automatically from the menu options? this is a problem with many items and with hide and unhide items depending on the user, etc.
And, by the way, this is not only CSS edited. I point this out because its cofused when you read all can be done by only edit the CSS files and thats it... the app is responsive.
Thanks again

Hello Michelis,

I apologize for the confusion.  The menu itself is created with CSS.  There are, however, two JavaScript calls.  One to open the side panel and one to close it.  I have since removed those calls and moved all scripts into a separate script file in my app.
