Improve dialogue with user for buying/selling upon stock click #2

Closed evangipson closed 8 years ago

Also:

Let the user know to click stocks better (Improve UX somehow)
Look up a library to improve dialogue (don't use alerts you dumbass)
- Use sliders with locked ranges probably for stock amounts based on how much the user can buy/sell
Maybe use this library for the gear icon issue?

Ugh, looks like jQuery UI is a perfect choice, but I don't want a library. Oh well, jQuery is mainstream enough and I don't need the whole thing, just UI. This will also solve my draggable UI task hopefully!

Another option is Remodal.

I wonder if this is true...

evangipson commented 8 years ago

I ended up going with jQuery and jQuery-ui here, it was the easiest choice. Native slider support, a bunch of other widgets, and it's not really that detrimental to the readability of the code. I am only using jQuery when I need to interact with the dialog windows or the scroller, so I'm happy with it.
