Description
This is again super anal. But I don't like how the nav bar on the downloaded docs acts. It seems to not be like a normal nav bar, just on the frame, but instead to be a part of each page. Which would be ok if it was always in the same place. But it's in the middle of each page, meaning it moves up and down, if the page is long.
I'd like to see a real nav bar, like the way the old docs worked, with a navigation.html and a index.html that frames the navigation with the doc being viewed.
You guys can choose not to do this bug fix if you'd like, it's just me getting super anal.
The other thing in general I'd like to see is better top level overviews of what all is in the docs. The Documentation Tree helps for this, and I did something like it for the User page. But when I start on the docs I find it a bit unclear where to start. I think this may be an artefact of translating from wiki -> a more linear format, but I'm not sure. I think we may just need more overviews...
Going to have to push this one off, sorry Chris. I agree with that the navbar behaviour is not desirable. However it is hardcoded into every single page. Fixing is a matter of table alignment, however I tried on a couple of pages and even if its aligned at the top it still doesn't look right. It really needs to be ints own frame. We could export from codehaus in xml format and do the xsl thing but thats a lot of work.
Bottom line is its a lot of work for little gain. Throwing it into 1.3.1.
