Auction Category Chooser Grid Interface

The Category Grid chooser will be a graphical way of displaying Ebay categories in a hierarchical fashion. There will be a top level row in a 7x7 grid which displays the top level root categories (highlighted in yellow in the figure below). From there a category will be selected by the user. The cell size in pixels will be configurable through a system setting. The grid will be 7x7 by default, but will also be able to be changed to 8x8 grid size through system setting. The categories will be retrieved from a servlet which outputs the categories in an XML format. The output XML format will be retrived from a database table. the servlet will be called from JavaScript in a one time call to the database and stored in memory so that the user can navigate the grid without having to make calls to the database. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
