IxEdit is a JavaScript-based interaction design tool for the web. With IxEdit, designers can practice DOM-scripting without coding to change, add, move, or transform elements dynamically on your web pages. Especially, IxEdit must be useful to try various interactions rapidly in the prototyping phase of your web application.

To implement interactions on a web page, programming with JavaScript is needed. However, it is hard to manage JavaScript for many designers. Therefore, making well-designed web interactions is difficult in general. IxEdit solves this problem. If you have basic knowledge about HTML and CSS, you can create interactions as you like. JavaScript coding is no longer needed.

IxEdit itself is made with JavaScript, and it is an entirely new type of design tool which is to be embedded in the HTML you are editing. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or IE becomes your interaction development environment. The interactions you create will be applied on-the-fly to the web page, so you can edit them while checking how they behave in real time.

IxEdit generates JavaScript code automatically from the parameters you specified. The generated JavaScript code is designed to run with jQuery and jQuery UI, the internationally used famous JavaScript library, and it presents powerful interactions. You don't need to care about cross-browser differences since jQuery does it for you.

Interactions you are editing are saved to the database in your local emvironment (Client-side Database Storage). Therefore, the data would not be lost even after you close or reload the browser. In addition, you can be editing interactions off-line. if you choose Firefox or IE as your development environment, you need to install Gears to your browser first to use local database.
