IxEdit is a JavaScript-based interaction tool useful for web developers that can practice DOM-scripting without coding to change, add, move or transform elements dynamically on web pages. IxEdit can be used to try various interactions rapidly in the prototyping phase.
The interactions you create using this entirely new type of design tool (which itself is made with JavaScript) will be applied on the fly to the web page, so you can edit them while checking how they behave in real time. This tool generates JavaScript code automatically from the parameters you specified. The generated code is designed to run with the famous international libraries JQuery and JQuery UI. Therefore, you should not worry about browser compatibility, since JQuery does it for you.
Another nice thing is the fact that interactions are saved to the database in your local environment (Client-Side Database Storage). This way the data won’t be lost even if you close or reload the browser.
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.
