[jira] [Created] (TAP5-1805) Selectable Tree component look and feel is lacking in user affordances

Selectable Tree component look and feel is lacking in user affordances
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAP5-1805
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1805
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.3, 5.4
            Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship


A tree being used to gather selections does not provide visible affordances that selections are possible; the current approach is to show selected nodes in bold. Outside of the change in the mouse-over cursor, there's no indication that nodes may be selected.

A proper affordance would meet user expectations: a checkbox that is either checked or unchecked. This can be "simulated" using CSS background images and margins, or the client-side JavaScript could create actual checkbox elements.
