100 million CSS hacks later the search box is functional and the page is ready to go! So try it out in weird obscure browsers and let me know if it holds up. We should be ok until ie10 comes out. Page should be fully scalable and all layout elements are defined by % so it should work regardless of s...

Have we just begun a secret demo phase for a new work page layout? I'm seeing them sporadically today. It looks like a tabs idea to replace the TOC and i think that's great. We can quibble about the colors and style (looks like cut and paste elements from the forum design), but it's a great change.

you mean "friendlily invited". I've been waiting a long time to pull the grammar police card on that one. look it up if you dont believe me.

done and done.

if the change is a few months off, i think it would be a good idea to embed the search box for now and then once the upgrade happens it can be converted into something else (a couple browse buttons for example). For now i think it is of utmost priority to have a search function front and center (kin...

it's not scalable by itself but I can make a different sized box for the top if needed.

As requested: Here's the code for the search button. I think it would look best at the top of every page like wikipedia does. In which case I don't know if there is a separate .css file you want to put the css code in or if it still just goes on the common.css here's the css: #newsearchwrapper { wid...

new revision up: http://imslp.org/wiki/User:Icactus/sandbox2 I have written the search box script - it just needs to have the html embedded. Also, I think it would be nice to have that search box mounted above every page aligned right like wikipedia does. If we do that then we could change that sear...

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to customize the look of the search box. It looks like the site supports the <searchbox> tag but none of the parameters i found here (unless we use a different version: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SearchBox#SearchLabel ) I'd like to be able to change ...

i can't seem to figure out how changes to the http://imslp.org/wiki/User:Icactus/monobook.css file effect other pages. I haven't been able to get a working test...

questions for feldmahler or others with "The keys"... Is there a way I could upload and modify a separate .css just for my sandbox pages so that I can play around with the javascript coding to work on the menus and other aspects? As of now I have to do all these clumsy work-arounds that do...

Sandbox 2 is really just a template at this point for the basic framework. It is not meant as any sort of final state - so there are a few important things that have been left out at the moment. Obviously the search box is very ugly and it can be dressed up any number of ways using CSS. And there is...

A browse section is a bad idea unless it is only two buttons: Browse Scores, and Browse Recordings. And then each page could take to you a nav page to break it down from there. Anything else is just duplicating the left side navigation and that is where users look for navigation anyway. Front page s...

Here's another equally clean version that does the layout a different way: http://imslp.org/wiki/User:Icactus/sandbox3 I think i'm partial to this one over the last but there are good reasons for liking either. I also think it would be a great idea to have a redesign to celebrate the 100,000th score...

i have another variation i'm about to post that i think i might like better than the one i just made and we should have room on the design i'm about to post to incorporate some browse buttons without being too cluttered.
