What are some good UI/UX control libraries compatible with PowerPoint "Good UX" and "Powerpoint" in the same sentence? ;) |

“Adding and Subtracting a Value” Horizontal or Vertical Controls better affordance? A good option, if the vertical space is not also at a premium. However, I suspect that ALL space is actually quite critical. |

“Adding and Subtracting a Value” Horizontal or Vertical Controls better affordance? @Yallow We actually don't have enough information to decide, so I wanted to put another view, to allow Jack to know the questions he needs to ask, and the implications of the answers. It may be that you are correct, and my conclusions actually concur with yours. |

“Clear all” button history Although, infact, that may be done by explicitly resetting the specific fields. But I agree that this is the only place I would use reset form functionality |

Forcing users to take a specific path 6 months there and I am almost insane. However the app I am working on is the better of the two they have..... 8{ |

Forcing users to take a specific path Nope not Sharepoint - although I do know Sharepoint, and it can be a nightmare. It is a in-house coded nightmare. |

Details and Pricing Change Based on Location Not knowing about US planning laws, would the "base prices" serve to order by price - that is, are the local additions consistent? So the ordering still works, even though the price may be out? |

Details and Pricing Change Based on Location Giving an estimate, and explaining why this might change is a good idea. Then allowing users to select a location if they want a specific price should keep everyone happy. |

Colliding icon meanings +1 for convention > context. The purpose of icons is not to "represent" a task, but to "indicate" a task - that is, the user has to see it and know what it means. Reusing icons means that the user is confused, and will hate you. They may have to spend some time understanding new icons, but at least they won't be confused. |

How do we stop users overpaying in financial web forms? If it is council tax, the system must know how much you owe. I would also add some confirmation on the free text box if the amount is greater than the total outstanding amount, just to catch mistyped errors. |
