I am thinking about creating a ui that mimics the structure of the plate in this picture. What you see is used in genomics as a storage device to hold genetic information (ie, each well duplicates a tube, the plate gives the ability to hold a bunch of genetic information, together).
Were my page a typical shopping cart page, I wouldn't worry too much about the submits to the server, but as you can tell by the picture, there are many wells. Typical plates have 96 wells, as well as 384 wells (larger plates are in use).
That's a lot of submits, and I figure that I should let the user configure the plate clientside. I also think that the visualization of the plate will give the user a better ui experience.
Essentially, I'm looking for an array of a bunch of inputs (hmmm... perhaps check boxes if I don't need text, ie I could tooltip). I've seen examples of uis like this a 1000x over, but now I'm unable to find examples, just to get additional ideas. Can anyone point me into the right direction, ie a javascript connect four?
Thanks in advance.
