(Just to point out here, because I've seen it crop up in a lot of recent mails, formular is not an english word. I'm guessing "user interface" or similar is what is meant, but it's definetly not clear.) > IMHO it has the following flaws: > > - It requires to query the 'database' several times before I get the > wanted result > - It requires more steps as neccessary on the user side > - It is really unintuitive that I have to submit a query in order to set > a filter. > - I need to spell out the severity grades, which is uncomfortable and > errorprone All of these are done that way just because it was simpler to implement, and a more complex implementation requires javascript. So yes, these flaws are known and remain present because of my limited time. > So as a better solution I'd suggest to make at least the severity > grades checkboxes. Not possible without javascript and a much more complex setup. [And it certainly wouldn't be checkboxes either; it'd have to be a selection menu.] The reason why it has to have javascript (or pretty complex css) is because the possible options that can be selected depends on the state of the selection menu on the left.
