Glow Javascript library

Glow Javascript library

August 12, 2009

Only just come across the Glow Javascript library that the BBC released under the Apache license a couple of months ago. It looks good, and has excellent API documentation as well as discussions of general usage for the majority of the tools.

In particular it has widgets for auto-complete text inputs, a simple class for validating form input and supports CSS-style selectors for referencing DOM objects.

Being that the BBC is mightily concerned with scheduled transmissions, Glow has an implementation of a timetable for displaying concurrent “tracks” of time data - I think this would complement the Simile timeline library in various situations.

Seeing as I can’t do Javascript without jQuery or getting depressed, Glow is very interesting.
