The pop-up date selector displays the Microsoft date picker control for designated input fields. Large list selectors. The Large List Selector pop-up allows application users to search for an item, select it from a sortable list, or simply page through the choices. A Large List Selector link automatically appears when the dropdown's size exceeds a pre-set threshold. Increment and decrement buttons. Increment and decrement field values with a mouse click. Reduce typing and just click to adjust values in numeric, date, and currency fields. Scrolling-free data entry. There's no page scrolling caused by the postback when adding or editing table rows.

Save and New button speeds data entry. Enter multiple records quickly. The new Save and New button adds the current record to the database and clears the input fields, all without leaving the page.

(Internet Explorer only.) Highlight bars in table panels. The keyboard-driven highlight bar makes table rows easier to view, select and manipulate. Arrow up and down to highlight a row without taking your hands off the keyboard. Flicker-free panel updates.
