I am very much a UX noob, but I need to design a web-page to display a large amount of numeric data, presumably in a grid. The users will be able to enter search criteria using the attributes shown in the grid.
One pattern I have seen is to have a pair of rows above the grid which contain the search mix/max criteria:
+----+----+----+ | | A | B | +----+----+----+ |min | 2 | | +----+----+----+ |max | | 19 | +----+----+----+ +----+----+----+ | | 3 | 17 | +----+----+----+
How do I lay out the page and how do I capture the minima and maxima? I like the sliders, but I think that to be usable they may be too wide for the column header
