Problem: I needed to create a list of items taken from a db and display them to the user. From there, the user should have been able to click on any of the items and have a new display come up with detailed information about the item that the user clicked on. I was unsure as to which widget to use that would best serve this purpose.
Impact: Without the user selectable items, the site would become obsolete as the whole purpose is for user interaction with the site.
Solution: There are many widgets available to display items to the user, some which are selectable by the user, some which aren't. I started out using a bulleted list which was hyperlinks. I found this was not the ideal from a design perspective. I wanted to display them in some sort of box, so I used a textbox first to get my display down, but realized that they were not clickable. I ended on using a listbox, which is able to be used as a clickable item for the user.
