Form Layout suggestion

Antall svar: 5

I've attached forum/post.html as a possible improved layout that doesn't require horizontal scrolling, even on a small monitor. The following minor changes also need to be made in lang/xx/forum.php.

$string['postingtip'] = "<B>Posting tips:</B><br />
When replying:

and in styles.php

ul {
   margin-bottom: 5px;
   margin-top: 0px;
}
I left a one pixel table border to show more easily how it's done.

Yes, you're right ... the posting form is pretty horrible right now, especially on smaller screens. It's one of those things that I look at all the time so I never see it.

I like your idea of putting the help stuff on the other side, but I'm not really happy with the current text (it was tacked-on quickly in the first place), so I'm going to go one step further and replace it with some new context sensitive help buttons there ... something like:

- Read carefully
- Write carefully
- How to write text

... each of which leads to a more detailed help popup.

Thanks,
Martin

P.S. If you or anyone else feels like it, another layout black spot is the assignment view.php page, which looks like a freeway pile-up. død Suggestions welcome!

Since the last rework that you posted to CVS, I did another change of layout that you might wat to take a look at. It's attached.

Just a small remark. Would it not be beatiful if the old html for bold <b> were replaced by either a css-corresponding e.g. font-weight, or a neutral just now rendered as bold in IE such as <strong>, matching the xml (late xhtml) inspirational <br />? rgds! /Set Lonnert
