“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Johnsgard, Todd J., Page, Stanley R., Wilson, Robert D. and Zeno, Ronald J. (1995): A Comparison of Graphical User Interface Widgets for Various Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 287-291.

“The purpose of the present study was to compare user performance, accuracy and preference while using standard user interface controls or "widgets" to complete specific types of tasks. Radio buttons were significantly faster, accurate, and preferred than any other widget for the mutually exclusive selection tasks. For the non-mutually exclusive selection tasks, check boxes were significantly faster and preferred. These widgets were superior due to the fact that all possible options were initially visible. As the number of options increased, the time to complete each task also increased. A practitioner's table for selecting effective widgets for specific types of tasks is provided. Further implications for user interface design and research are discussed.”
