Web site search button
Hi,
here is a suggestion, I asked for this change some time ago and still
think it's needed because it truncates some of the used words.
The size of the search button is a bit short for several languages.
The actual width size is 60 px. I think a size of 85 px (or whatever is
necessary) would serve every language better without having to create
css exceptions, localized or general.
It would improve the look of the site, no matter what language it's
seen. Don't everyone agree?
This could also be added to (or included in) the thread 'Detecting
Visitor's Locale'. Maybe some script to detect the size of the word?

Pedro.

Hi,
> URL? example?
Thanks to the drop down list we don't need an URL. Try Portuguese-pt.
It's very short, as Lithuanian. French site chose to abbreviate the word
and there are others that didn't even translate the word 'Search'.
Regards,
Pedro.

Alexandro, I'm willing to give Bootstrap or Pure a try; they seem simple
enough to integrate (Bootstrap seems more mature). SASS, though, seems like
an overkill.
Aivaras, thanks.

I agree. Some styling and formatting elements of the website (fonds,
sizes, alignment, etc.) could be made a little more appealing to the
eye. A few minor tweaks and tune-ups would go a long way. I know some of
it is already happening as I'm writing this, thanks to Marcus and Tal,
and possibly other volunteers!
Cheers,

Any thought using CSS on the web controls, they simply look so ugly and
outdated. I recommend using Bootstrap or some CSS framework like Stylus or
SASS.

I already publish this under a different thread proposal but want to
re-publish the proposal to use JScrollpane() from JQuery and style the UI
of the front pages' scrollbars. You can see a test here:
http://people.apache.org/~jza/index.html
Another proposal already working on is a showcase plugin which would be
ideal for the 'Recent news' and moving from a vertical scrollbar to a
carrousell slider fashion, most common with news. Here is a full screen
demo.

Andrea, I see your point. I'll take care of the search button wrapping
below the search input field.

I see it correctly aligned vertically (Firefox and Chrome on Linux). But
indeed it seems that we would need a bigger width than 220px for
div.topsrchbox and that this would allow longer strings in the Search
button that do not result in wrapping (i.e., the buttons goes under the
search field).
Regards,
Andrea.

(2.) Vertical centering of lanaugages list title to the select box is
possible (by inserting items into a table with 1 row), but it looks OK to
me. (3.) Vertical centering of select options isn't possible, AFAIK, and it
looks OK to me.

Could the horizontal size of the search button be made dynamic, if it is
not?
It would also benefit the appearance of the website if the search
field+button were more attuned to the language name and the dropdown
field. This, of course, would need some experimentation and going by
eye. Some things I'd consider:
1. making the search field+button the same height as the language field;
2. centering vertically "Language:" with respect to the language field;
3. centering vertically the language name shown in the language field.

Aivaras
