I'm an Irish citizen and US permanent resident currently based in New Hampshire, though I've lived and worked in Europe and Asia, and have travelled the world.
My background is in web design and development, but I'm currently operating in the realm of user experience and web project management.
I like tech stuff, learning new things, and picking up my cats with one hand to make myself feel big and strong.

What should I call content that drops down, without call it a dropdown? Yeah, I guess these are about as close as I'll get. It's not a huge deal, I just wanted to see what people came back with. The thing is, it's not quite an accordion, it's accordion-esque, and we have actual accordions elsewhere on the site. The name 'slider'is taken by javascript-driven banner image displays. |

Do I really need a login button? This may be anecdotal evidence, but I'm always surprised to see how mouse/click-dependent users are (especially older users) i.e. click on field1, type, move mouse to field2, click, type etc. The fact that we're here having this conversation suggests we may be more towards the power-user end of the spectrum, and possibly more likely to fill forms with just the keyboard. So it's easy to forget about all those users who will finish typing the password and then wonder where it is they should be clicking next. |

Best way to deliver “mockup tool kit” to engineering team? It seems as though I'm not accepting your sage advice and you are insulting my work ethic, or intelligence, to compensate. I do want to change this system, but even if I didn't, it would't make your suggestions any more realistic. Those two concepts are unrelated. If you were my colleague we wouldn't be having this conversation, because you'd have some understanding of the existing culture and its limitations. So please, accept my thanks for your input so far, hear me when I say that it's sound but not appropriate, and let's let this go. |

Best way to deliver “mockup tool kit” to engineering team? The question was "Best way to deliver...?" Not "What are the flaws in my philosophy?". You're answer was great, just not what I was asking for; maybe a little bit idealistic, and certainly not realistic given the real-world limitations I face. I have a plan and I'm looking for way to deliver it. Hence wording of the question. Thanks. |

Best way to deliver “mockup tool kit” to engineering team? Because I'm dealing with 25 people in 3 countries, with different levels of code-savvy ranging from expert to clueless. Suggesting that we all start working in html/css is not an option. |

Best way to deliver “mockup tool kit” to engineering team? Thanks for the input, but I'm not exactly sure why it's being upvoted. "Just make them write the html/css themselves" is not a reasonable suggestion in this case; some product owners have are not code-savvy in the slightest. Also, the whole point of using the Bootstrap elements is to be restrictive. These people are not UI designers, and they're also prone to overcomplicate processes. So by limiting the options, I keep things simple and looking good. I understand that the process needs to change, but that's a multi-year project. This is a damage-limitation step I can put in place within weeks. |

Best way to deliver “mockup tool kit” to engineering team? To begin with, it will just be a collection of UI elements (buttons, tables, controls, etc.) and perhaps some empty browser window templates with gridlines to show where our fixed elements like navigation will go. |

Dashed underline on required fields The * before the label is certainly a contender for the most elegant approach. I would argue that this is conventional enough that you don't necessarily need a contrast color (red) for your asterisk. A black, or blue-black, would do the same job, and sit better in your UI (assuming the screenshots are from the real interface) |
