The mockup doesn't even need to be dynamic (it needn't show the actual dropping down of dropdown boxes, or the actual scrolling of multiselect boxes, etc). The only dynamicism required is a capability that would allow me to create a set of images that could be navigated by mouse clicks, each mouse click which would essentially just lead to another "page" which could itself be a static image with hotspots representing clickable areas.
That sounds exactly like Denim. http://guir.berkeley.edu/projects/denim/ It's pretty nice, though there are a few things it could do better (like have templates for creating new pages.) I tend to draw "looks" with GIMP and then follow up with clickable mockups with Denim. --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)
