In both case, the real trick is to provide the relevant values as well as to sanitize the input, if one lets the user type the values, then Ajax is useful to warn in time the user.

I'm afraid these aren't based on formal user research, they are only based on on an 'expert evaluation'. However, there's nothing controversial in there - it's pretty standard usability fare. The stuff I wrote on viscosity is inspired by Green's Cognitive Dimensions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dimensions Hope you find it interesting! Hi Chris.

This is helpful. Are these comments based on any research that you've done with users? I'm interested in knowing how much sense the sliders make to most people -- that is, do they have a good expectation of how this interface should work when they see it? Is there a learning curve? Do users really LIKE it, or is it just a trendy new possibility? Thanks! This is helpful. Are these comments based on any research that you’ve done with users?
