Good ideas for handling imprecise input fields
This is a post to see if I can get some help from my readers.
In many systems we develop we have date fields that users need to fill in. And in many cases the precision of date varies within the same type of data. For example users need to input details for past events. Sometimes they know the exact date (5th of Jan. 2008), both for other dates they only know that it happened in January 2008, or maybe just the year. How can we handle from a interface standpoint to allow for both precise and imprecise input?
