A data display comprises a window that shows a tree map display having
menu information surrounding a field array of differently sized and
colored or shaded areas that represent product offering possibilities
that conform with user criteria entered through the surrounding menu
windows. A Web site that uses the display technique may receive user
criteria and retrieve a portion of collected data and display it to the
user, so that the retrieved data describes a data subset that is
responsive to the user criteria. The retrieved Web pages may be viewed to
facilitate review of product offering information, and to facilitate
purchase decisions that are transmitted from the Web site visitors.
