I'm not objecting to the concept of live search, just the placement ofthe
results. I've looked at almost all the themes at rubygarden, andmost of them
either bork the live search feature, or just plain lookbad. The Origami theme
does it right, by overlaying on top of the(fixed) sidebar content.
I still believe that <div id='results'> should live in the maincontent area and
overlay or hide it. This is where people have grownto expect the results. I
can't see the advantage of leaving the normalcontent visible while doing any
kind of search - it's just adistraction and it's all too easy to miss the
results in the sidebarif the list is short or empty.
My objective here is to see if there is a consensus on this and if so,to get a
change into release 4. There are a couple of crufty layoutissues that detract
from the generally great impression that Typomakes already. The other that
comes to mind immediately is the articlecomposition form. The preview area
dances around and changes size andthe options and controls which I want are
always off screen.
I can, and will fix these things on my own, but they all require
minorre-arrangement of the way the page DOM is constructed. I'd prefer tosee
changes like these be accepted into the trunk rather than remainpatches. And, I
haven't been on the mailing list long enough to knowwhat it takes to get
changes accepted.
It would seem that a healthy consensus here is a good start, though. - D.R.
