hi
i have enclosed a gif which was done in html. the shot is from ie5.1 mac and looks really good in ns4 and opera* (havent checked ns6 but im pretty sure it looks ok)
* actually it seems opera has a fixed height for text-fields so maybe all the widgets should have their height increased to about 22px instead of 20px, but i didn't want to go there before sending this mail.
comments:
- there is no submit button i know. the reason is that it would look bad inside the widget. besides theres no need for one. anyone who cannot find out to search the site will click on the menuitem help and learn how to press enter.
but most of the folks who responded, were -1 on not having the submit button.
I definitely agree with you that your snapshot looks great! But we don't want usability to suffer.
If I'm not mistaken currently we have:
-1: Bill, Jonathan, Thomas -0: Stas +1: Allan
for not having the submit button.
- there is no input type="image" because i _know_ (i think:)) that this will never _look_ good in a certain browser causing us many problems. besides there were some problems when hitting the enter-key.
+1
- there is also no js-focus(). i simply dont believe in it for our design. i think we are wasting our time on this.
+1
so basically i think this is the best compromise of all worlds. it works across browsers, it fits our design across browsers. it makes the "toolbar" consistent.
my only question is whether we should turn pdf and src labels into images to make sure that the same text font/size is used as in prev|next or simply to use text. mainly because the sizes cannot be part of the image, so it's good to have the size and the label (pfd|src) of the same typeset.
