Well, I always thought that about the results of the search field. ;) At least with a submenu it's clear for the user what this is about. Highlighting categories might be confusing... Or do you mean to do both? But, while I actually do like your proposal with highlighting, I don't really know at the moment how to implement that. Whereas adding the submenu is quite easy to do. Well, I may try to do it that way. But it could be implemented first with the submenu and then changed later to highlights, maybe? - Wolfgang ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
