- Try not to use javascript, use the ajax API to write logic in Java and views in JSP
- Externalize all text (even text in placeholders, from java, error messages, text from javascript if applicable)
- Only share externalized text keys if you expect it to always be tied together
- We have a look and feel using tables and alternating rows and bold labels on left and more info before the form elements. We should try to use that when possible
- Be consistent with accessibility using "for" tags with labels and aria tags when applicable
- Pages should have breadcrumbs underneath the parent page so it can be navigated back
- Generally navigation should be consistent with "more actions" drop downs
- Security of who is allowed to do what needs to be checked when buttons are displayed, and on the server side when actions are processed (ajax included)
- Follow sentence case unless a proper noun. IE do not capitalize all words in label or title unless proper noun.
