do not sent api requests for empty inputs, e.g. after a character input followed by a backspace in the search input. Make sure to clear the result div to wipe previous results at the client w/o sending a request. Lowers server load Comment: Krinkle, you should not move the mouse (=> risk of R.S.I.) except when you really have to, e.g. for entering something into the input box. Now, when the cursor is caugth, you can start typing your query. This is very convenient. I admit, that the text body should regain focus in conformity to my patch for the search input, when you hover over the body. I don't want to introduce too much at once. Please try the new behaviour (search input auto-focus when hovering) live on http://www.translatewiki.net . It saves _one_ click on the mouse. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
