I've not heard of it either - but I have a few guesses. Just from the semantics, I would guess that they mean a mid-fidelity HTML prototype, where you can actually click option buttons and buttons and checkboxes and select things from list boxes and change screens, etc., but that there is no other code to make it do something. So, for example, in a recommender tool, you could click a certain path of option buttons to show/not show questions and get to a certain recommendation screen, but you could click any other path and get to that same rec screen, thus it is a dummy, it always behaves the same, regardless of what one clicks.
However, I did a quick google search and it came up with this click dummy: http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/fileadmin/mimuc/mmi_ws0304/exercise/uebung4 /dummy_js/no-sound-index.html. This then is for testing purposes, it would seem, rather than for mostly getting buy-in from the client. Since it's obviously not a widely-used term (google had that 1 relevant link), I would get clarification on what they really want before you continue (especially if you're putting together a bid on the project). Let us know what you find out!

Can anyone help me out? Thanks much, Christine ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
