I in turn must disagree. Webapps are not desktop GUI's. Using wizard style steps to select data from multiple *very* large lists is clumsy, when a single form can be easily populated from a couple of popup search forms (which can be very re-usable), rather than an unnecessarily complicated workflow. The competency of the users must considered in all GUI design, and so far I have not encountered any that can't comprehend this style.
But I think the real question here is, how many desktop GUI's feature Brittany Spears' Breasts? :) Scott Barr > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Sijpkes [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 12:51 PM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: Navigation: To popup and back > > I agree with your disagreement.
