| Those horizontal bars you see below for interacting with this page
are called sliders. It is a type of control that is often used in computer interfaces but
has not been readily available in Web forms until now! This
design and other interactive designs can be used for development of scales for
quality-of-life, time-trade-off, standard gamble and willingness-to-pay assessments. The
user just clicks on the slider to release it, and then moves the cursor along the track
and the slider follows along! Another click locks the slider in place along the bar. Try
it out! |
