51 Problem with the backgrounds ...

Very incredible script but a big “default” : if you have 100 or 150 possible lists with a graphic (normal.gif), it loads the 100 / 150 normal.gif each time you click. The only solution I have found is to not put pics.

53 Wow. Very crude comments. The script is good

It becomes easy to criticize a script and throw problems at it like “what about the ajax problem?” – “what about when js and css is disabled?” – “what about screen readers?”

Sheesh. I can see why ALA initiated the ‘experimentation – use with caution’ warnings from a while back.

However, I will agree on the asthetics of it. It does look a bit awkardly ugly. But what’s really at stake here is the functionality. ALA has never claimed to be awesome designers, but this is a killer script (killer being a good thing).

Most likely, these are the kinds of widgets that I would implement on my own site. It would take weeks of meetings to get something like this implemented on a real project.

54 Interesting method

I was and am still very much interested in your method of display and choosing options. However, like some others thoughts – while it appears to be an excellent script technically, the aesthetics does baffle me slightly. I wonder how easy it is to make it into a vertical menu, (rather like the navigation menu for http://www.saila.com/usage/layouts/ ) while still retaining its accessibility? :) thanks!

What

REALLY

I can use HTML. Here’s the code I wrote for my page:

<h2>This is an H2 headline</h2>

I’m so glad HTML is blocked.

Oops. It isn’t.
