Designing Usable Web Widgets
IBM developerWorks features a great article on Web widget usability by Jodi Bollaert. Essential reading for all web designers.
This article is the first in a two-part series about Web widgets — controls that can be incorporated in Web forms, dialogs, and wizards to elicit information from users. Here in Part 1, Jodi Bollaert defines several basic HTML Web widgets, shows graphic examples, and discusses common usability problems and solutions. Next month, Jodi will cover more sophisticated Web widgets that can be developed with scripts.
