Re: [drupal-devel] permissions page
Not really sure how this will improve this problem. Besides, iframe is not cross-browser, is it? Isn't iframe a Netscape thing? Kobus

Your solution doesn't solve the specific problem that Karoly is trying to address. That issue I believe is the space consumed by the current iteration of the permissions page.
What do you see as the scalability issues related to Karoly's proposed solution?
Your solution does sound good though. It would require a lot of scrolling, but thats the only problem.

I don't like the idea of having text as images. Doesn't scale. Also, if you scroll down onthat page, you still won't know to which role you are assigning perms. I think my solution is simple, accessible, and solves all problems.

Not sure if my earlier response came through. Had a drive die in my imap server last night. The idea is fit any table width inside the limited screen width. To me its not so much that spacing of the check boxes... I like them being well apart, but not being able to see the permission or the role... I think Ber or Gerhard was suggesting something similar. You can get the effect of a fixed permissions column, and repeat the roles every 10 or so rows.. Its an approach I use with with wide spreadsheets a lot. but is admittedly very hackish in html, since there isn't a convenient way to side scroll that I know of it may be sub optimal.
