This wouldn't solve the original issue, but it might be a good idea. It makes the search mode more explicit, so it could be argued that it increases the UI modality, which is bad. But on the other hand, maybe users have a mental model that search is a modal operation and expect there to be a pretty explicit search mode. It's not hard to change this. > > greetings, martin. > -- > cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix > offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world > -- > pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org > unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at > administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org > Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ > -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
