Hi, Thanks -- yes, I agree it makes sense to move left to right on a slider, although in terms of timelines, I'd expect "past" to be to the left and "present" to be to the right -- again because of the general left to right reading culture. In this case, going for a horizontal slider, the present would be on the left and past on the right which doesn't scan for me. Having said that, putting the slider over to the right to start is completely counter-intuitive.
Think it's time to mock up some stuff to see what it looks like :) 2009/5/14 gmulder <[email protected]>: > I'd say, sliding horizontally you still display the message top to > bottom (new-->old), as it is basically the same as clicking through > "next page of results" "previous page of results" links - with > the added functionality of allowing you to fastforward. > > As we read from left to right, I would expect the slider to start > left (latest entries/top entries depending on sorting) and progress > to the right. > > cheers > g > > > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > Posted from the new ixda.org > http://www.ixda.org/discuss?post=42001 > > > ________________________________________________________________ > Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! > To post to this list .......
