             Summary: Rewrite CSS for Header and Pane-Layout
                 Key: COUCHDB-2471
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2471
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: Fauxton
            Reporter: Robert Kowalski


There are several issues with our current pane-layout and the header, their 
width is controlled by resizeColumns.js:

 - We are often getting horizontal scrollbars which are quite hard to fix 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2234) - as soon as we fix them 
the issues return almost immediately after fixing them: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2320 

 - Multipane Layouts and Header in Multipane Layouts are overlapping and this 
leads to interesting bugs and workarounds. Examples are: 

  - Button not clickable (as it is overlapped by a not visible other header 
element of the panes)

  - Buttons to far right or left

  - spending alot of time to position elements in the header which should 
basically just float next to each other

  - not being able to use the regular container for the api-url button and 
instatiation as we need a special solution for new kinds of layout


Sean prototyped some time ago Fauxton in Angular for a project. I added the 
code as it shows how a pure CSS solution can work with multi-pane layouts which 
would solve all these problems which slow down development and would also close 
the open issues. Additionally we would not have to kind of hotfix so much code 
like we did in the past.

Bonus points for adding responsiveness! (we have bootstrap 2.3 included in 
Fauxton which has some helpers for responsive grid layouts)
