Amy I'm curious why you think it is not ideal, I don't disagree. I'm embarking on a registration project and weighing the options. I'm in favor of a modal box because like you say the user is not derailed from the task at hand. I'd like to hear the down sides (aside from technical hurdles.)
"I'm designing a process at the moment that uses a lightbox dialog at a critical point in the sign-in/registration process. It's not ideal, but after experimenting with a bunch of different approaches, it's the one I'm most comfortable with. We'll find out whether or not users agree when we test it." > > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > Posted from the new ixda.org > http://www.ixda.org/discuss?post=39865 > > > ________________________________________________________________ > Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! > To post to this list .......
