A stand-alone software module that can be slapped onto an existing application to enhance it's function or performance. This is typically a JavaScript file that can be linked in a vanilla web page to add -- at load time -- Rich Internet Application (RIA) behaviors to the existing UI controls. A "pefect" barnacle would be effective without any other changes to the web page code (but would allow incremental additions of attributes to customize the behavior). I found a smart-table barnacle script we can stick on our web page to make those tables sortable and filterable.
I wrote a calendar barnacle that automatically converts any input box with class="date" to a calendar picker field. |
