Half-bakery is getting a bit full. Some ideas are pushed way down the page by the list of all the other ideas on the page.
How about putting that list in an iframe tag of about 150 or 200 pixels in height? Toss in some javascript (very simple) to adjust the iframe's width to fill the space between
the left menu and the catagory name (or place the list below the catagory name for a simpler script).
Pages would be viewed much easier.
Additionally, why not toss the "Top 3", or whatever number the user has set, above the full list of ideas. Possibly not listing the new ideas in with the old then to save some screen-space and bandwidth. The page would even be cached, meaning if you are going through all this ideas in a catagory, you only load the list once.

No they wouldn't. You would still have to scroll. |

Netscape doesn't support iFrames. |
|
| |
God, no. This one of the few sites that works perfectly in Lynx. Is <IFRAME> (or whatever) even part of the HTML DTD? |
|
| |
Frames suck. Scrolling in little frames sucks too. |

W3C included the iframe feature in HTML 4.01 - big whoopteedoo.
iFrames? iFrames? Weeeee don't neeed no steenkeeng iFrames!
ironfroggy - if you want your page to load up Top 3 list without listing new ideas - you can modify your personal page to do just that, honest. |

If it aint broke don't fix it. |
|

If this site ever incorporates any form of frames, I shall have to hurt someone. |

Using tables is bad enough! |

<off topic rant> the only thing that really pisses me off (and this is about HTML in general, not the HB) is this reduction of spaces thing. Generally, it's not a problem, but I cannot STAND the fact that it reduces the proper two spaces after a full stop (or !/?) to a single space. It just doesn't look right.</off topic rant> |

Ummm... What are XSL-FO and XSLT? |

[Rods] I dint understand much of your annotation, which is my ignorance not your expression naturally. |

In order to add more sense I put it into babel fish and translated it from portuguese to english(which seemed natural enough) and something interesting happened- it became a very creditable Yoda version of the original, I got this:-
The thing is, the uses of two spaces on the monospaced to typewriter is bodge in itself. In fact, monospaced type is completes it bodge. The a (former) magazine to designer will be living, I'd to never allow additional spaces anywhere in our incoming CoPy. If I saw any I'd of the a search and replace will be it. I think I used you of the the same when I was to typographer, driving the Bobst Eurocat, with all that quad-left stuff. However, it gives idea me an. In Xsl-fo, there's in implicit natural unit of sentence (them to far the I'm aware), without having uses you adds manual inline-level demarcation. I'm wondering now, if it's worth messing around with adds sort of XSLT pattern hunting you pick out sentence units an inline subdivision of the nearest block unit up the tree. Then it would be possible you introduce Inter-sentence spacing will be those that should so desire it. (Wish Tex I'd learned.)
If you then translate from russian to english you get pure Jarjar Binksian

Wnder where the catfish came from.
Just wanted to share that with everyone. |

If the halfbakery ever starts having frames of any sort, my body will have been taken over by aliens, and I'll have to rely on y'all to hunt me down and give me the common cold / play rock music to me / expose me to sunlight. |

There are categories that are much too full. The right fix for that is for the moderators to split them up - and for the general usership to put pressure on the moderators by suggesting more and more horrible techncial "improvements" to the site that would handle the problem. So, thanks. |
