[Phpmyadmin-devel] tabs greyed out but still working
Hi, when discussing [0], a question arose. When phpMyAdmin thinks that there are no rows, some tabs are greyed out. However they can still be clicked , because by the time the page has been displayed, another process might have written some rows to this table. But clickable greyed out tabs is confusing for some users. Let's decide about this (for 4.1): 1. no longer grey out 2. grey out but not clickable 3. status quo [0] https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/bugs/3904/ -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Definitely not 3. I would suggest 1. -- Kind regards, Dieter Adriaenssens

I am quite confusing about "another process might have written some rows to this table." We can't assume that another process is doing something. TCP is stateless which means in current moments, the Table is empty. so we should "2. grey out but not clickable" for current page When user refreshes the page, they can see the data.

I'd vote for 1 to provide consistent interface. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I think option 1 is better. consitent interface is important. thanks, Adam
I think option 1 is better. There is no use of greying out the tab and it shouldnt matter if the table is empty or not. On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 5:03 AM, adam <adamgsoc2013@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm only against #2, as we shouldn't force a manual refresh of the page. Bye, Rouslan
