The New Mobile Site

Surprisingly JK and I found that getting the hang of the JSP was not as hard as we anticipated. We do have to follow a lot of trails through the trunk, but these are not that hard to pin down. Since my last post we have almost entirely completed the Patient Search page for the mobile site. This is a huge milestone. We are now left with trying to figure out how to get the findPatient div to resize when a search is in progress. What we have done:
  • Shrunk page elements to be suitable for mobile environment
  • Brought language bar up to rest immediately under the page info (fixing the display problem on the iPhone)
  • Shortened the user login bar
  • Shortened the search field
  • Eliminated unnecessary whitespace (breaks, etc.)
  • Coded the JavaScript to scroll the findPatient and createPatient fields
  • Made small formatting tweaks to make things cleaner overall
Now as we approach the end of the semester we hope to get the patientSearch page done, at least, so that we have something concrete to show in our final presentation. Regardless of what we get done before then, we will be continuing into the summer. Hopefully we will soon begin on the patient summary page.
