We are proud to present a new DHTMLX release and have good reason for it \u2013 the new DHTMLX has been outfitted with all the components it needs to be a complete toolkit for building rich, Ajax-based web applications. With the new version 2.6 of our JavaScript UI library, you can develop any kind of web interface, in terms of both functionality and design. And if you think that’s all, the answer is no!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s jump below for a glimpse at the Top 10 notable improvements:<\/p>\n

1. New Components<\/strong><\/p>\n

The library was enriched with three new JavaScript components: dhtmlxForm<\/a>, dhtmlxChart<\/a>, and dhtmlxDataView<\/a> (which replaces dhtmlxFolders, but with much wider possibilities). Each of them will facilitate your work and save you time and effort.<\/p>\n

With this release we\u2019re offering an update to our dhtmlxConnector: dhtmlxConnector 1.0.
\nNow you have all you need for server-side integration. All server work can be done with the dhtmlxConnector component, and now even more features are available: server-side grid configuration, multi-user sync, grouping connectors, and much more.<\/p>\n

3. Compatibility with Touchscreen Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Touchscreen technology enters our lives at an ever-increasing rate, and we at DHTMLX stay abreast of the times. With the latest version of DHTMLX, you can develop applications for touchscreen devices (such as the iPad) right now, and in the near future full touchscreen support will be at your disposal.<\/p>\n
