Yann-- I hate trap doors in UIs, meaning actions you take that lead you to a new state from which you can not easily (or ever) revert.
Therefore I hate radio button groups in which initially no button is selected (typically representing an "all" or "none" state), but once you select a button you can never return to the no-button-selected state. So I absolutely recommend, and indeed implore, you to include an initially-selected "all" or "none" radio button, as appropriate. --Bill At 4:58 PM +0100 2/23/08, Yann Allin wrote: >HI, > >I need some help about the right default value in a set of checkboxes... > >Is it better to use a "All" choice selected by default in a set of >checkboxes or to leave all of them unselected in order to include all the >choces. > >Thanks for you answer, > >Yann -- ====================================================================== Bill Fernandez * User Interface Architect * Bill Fernandez Design (505) 346-3080 * bf_list1 AT billfernandez DOT com * http://billfernandez.com ====================================================================== ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
