How to mock alternate states of a new UI template using helpers
24/6/2009 | external link
You re working on some new UI and there are multiple states that could be displayed based on some conditions. How do you communicate the possible states to a programmer? You could mock them all up separately as wireframes. Or you could comment them out in your HTML mockup and then walk through them face to face, explaining each one.
