Dynamic comparison text functionality
A system is provided comprising a plurality of listings, a plurality of labels associated with at least some of the listings. Additionally, a plurality of form inputs are provided, each associated with one of the labels, wherein selection of a form input causes a transition of the associated label from a first state to a second state. The system further includes a link that is made active upon the transition, thereby associating an action with a label wherein a first description is displayed in the first state and a second description is displayed in the second state.
1. A system comprising:
a server configured to transmit a page over a network to a user device, wherein that page includes:
a plurality of listings;
a plurality of labels associated with at least some of said listings; and
a plurality of form inputs, each associated with one of said labels, wherein selection of a form input causes a transition of the associated label from a first state to a second state and activates a link of the associated label,
wherein the link associates an action with the associated label.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said action is selected from the group comprising: adding to a group, adding-to-cart, comparing, deleting, and excluding.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said action is configured for electronic commerce.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said server is further configured to execute a comparison operation on the listings that have their associated form inputs selected.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said server is further configured to execute a script configured to characterize the listings that have their associated from inputs selected into a plurality of predetermined categories.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said second state is a comparison state and wherein said action compares the listings that have labels in said second state.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first description is displayed by the associated label when in the first state and a second description is displayed by the associated label when in the second state, said first and second description having substantially the same location.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said form inputs are located substantially adjacent to said labels.
9. A method comprising:
providing, by a computer device, a plurality of listings on a page;
associating a plurality of labels with at least some of said listings;
associating a plurality of form inputs with one of said labels;
transitioning a label of the plurality of labels from a first state to a second state based on a selecting of a form input of the plurality of form inputs that is associated with the label; and
activating a link of the label that associates an action with the label.
10. The method of claim 9 ,
providing a second page comparing those listings having labels in said second state.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said link is configured to facilitate electronic commerce.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein a first description is displayed by the associated label when in the first state and a second description is displayed by the associated label when in the second state, said first and second description are centered in the substantially same location.
13. A system comprising:
a computer readable medium storing a page, the page including:
a plurality of listings;
a plurality of labels associated with at least some of said listings; and
a plurality of form inputs, each associated with one of said labels, wherein selection of a form input causes a transition of the associated label from a first state to a second state and activates a link of the associated label, wherein the link associates an action with the associated label; and
a computing device coupled to the computer readable medium and configured to transmit the page over a network to a user device.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein said transition activates a second link that upon selection provides a plurality of action pages comprising at least some of said listings associated with said labels having form inputs that are selected.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein said plurality of action pages includes a comparison page.
16. The system of claim 13 , wherein said action selected from the group comprising: a null action, an add action, an add-to-cart action, a compare action, a delete action, and an exclude action.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the listings having labels in said second state are grouped in said action pages according to one of a set of factors.
18. The system of claim 13 , wherein said first state displays a first description and said second state displays a second description, said first and second description are centered in the substantially same location.
19. The system of claim 1 , wherein an unselected form input prevents the transition of the associated label from the first state to the second state and prevents the activation of the link of the associated label.
20. The system of claim 1 , wherein said form inputs are boxes that are empty when unselected and include a check mark when selected.
