TutorZ Rolls Out jQuery Dialog Windows

As of today tutors and students have an improved account management experience: jQuery based dialog windows.

“The old GreyBox-based dialog windows were clumsy, not-so-stylish and sometimes did not render the content at all. That’s why we needed to find alternatives. We decided to use the dialog windows that come with jQuery library. We found jQuery to be a great technology and are going use it even more in future development projects.” says Dirk Wagner, software architect at TutorZ.

jQuery is a easy-to-use and rich front-end library. TutorZ has already used jQuery slider, accordion and ajax functionality. Now we have also deployed the jQuery dialog.

GreyBox is an older browser front-end technology and it was great back in 2010.  But it has not much improved since then and in 2015 clearly eclipsed by jQuery. Nonetheless we are happy to have used GreyBox and want to express our thanks its developers.

Below you see an example of the new dialog window. It’s a modal box (not interacting with the rest of the page) informing a tutor that a particular job has already been purchased.
