AJAX Search is up

Well, after a bit of fiddling, the AJAX search is now fully operational. I think it works pretty well - it’s certainly quite transparent and saves a lot of room. It hasn’t been fully tested yet please let me know if you run into bugs.
IE had some… interesting rendering issues that need fixing in relation to opacity. For some reason, if you don’t set a background colour then font rendering goes completely crazy and everything looks awful. The moral of this story: IE6 doesn’t like opacity unless everything has a background.

Other than that it has been a pretty busy day. I’ve been up and down to Coventry. Most of the time the journey is fine, but today the M6 decided that it was going to hate me. It took me two hours to travel about 25 miles - average speed, 12.5mph. Usually I can do it in half an hour.

The trip did serve a purpose, and hopefully in a few days time I should have a clearer direction of where the project I’m working on is going. However, for the time being I will simply leave you with a lovely formula to show off my LaTeX renderer, as I really must be going to bed.

    Well, the search is good, but if you find something with zero entries, it likes to spell it zerro, ah well, I guess you can’t have it all, :-p

    Dude, the M6. Baaad choice. We got caught on it after that accident the other day, 2 miles in 1 hour 40 mins. I swear I was about to stab someone by the end of it.

    I know, it was absolutely insane. The other day with the other big jam, I luckily decided to get off at J5 and fight my way back through Erdington and Sutton instead. Turned out to be a hell of a lot easier.
