awfDialog Gets Peer Recognition

The awfDialog class received a nomination for the PHP Innovator Award for the month of March from PHPClasses.Org. Voting goes on through the month of April, so, shamelessly, I’d like to ask for your support. The nomination text reads as follows:

Wizard is the name that is called to user interfaces that guide the user
through a series of steps that need to be performed to achieve a certain
task. This kind of user interfaces is typically found in desktop
applications.

It is possible to implement wizards in a Web site by showing a sequence of
pages with all the steps. However, multi-page wizard are not as usable as
desktop application wizards, as they make the user wait for the next page
to load.

This class provides a solution to implement Web based wizards that uses
AJAX to minimize the time it takes to load the next page. This way, Web
based wizards are practically as usable as desktop application wizards.
