Blueprint Layout Tool Progress
November 13th, 2007
I’ve been working on a new version of the blueprint layout tool over the past few days. In order to build a foundation for the eventual goal of a wysiwyg, drag & drop editor with semantic markup I’ve needed to refactor the code & change several behaviors.
Current Status
- Updated entire engine to Blueprint 0.6
- Ported application from YUI to jQuery
- Implemented multi-select capabilities
- Replaced nested sorting of elements with explicit group & ungroup functionality
- Added functionality to set & remove “.last” class on columns
- Added Ghosting to sort functionality.
Going forward:
I hope to have the new version posted some time tonight. I hope to assimilate any major bug fixes & the blueprint grid generator into the next release. Then I’ll be working on semantify integration.

Very slick! Any chance of functionality in Safari 2?
thanks!

It works in Safari 3, It should work in Safari 2. Every library used does support Safari 2 & I’m using dom manipulations not do execute commands.

This is great, wysiwyg is the way to go. Thanks your hard work!
Also, consider adding a “home” or “about” link to your tool’s page. I was initially directly linked to it and thus didn’t know who made it, or where to get more information about it.

Thanks for the feedback,
I will be putting a stronger about page together as the software nears more solid footing. I will also soon place a redirect on the Ajaxbestiary version to the newest version at
