On the new ideas page, the Category box can take a while to scroll through. This has the side-effects that:
- it can be harder to notice a matching category
- there is less incentive for newbies to use it properly.
So make it easier to browse by using two boxes in place of the one. The
first box shows only top-level genres (food, car, fasion, etc). When you select one of those, the second box appears next to it, letting you select a category from within that genre. The contents of the box are updated whenever you change genre.
If you ever get a third level, a third box could appear.
Yes, this would require lots of nasty client-side scripting, but it's perfectly doable.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but this may prove useful (I think degroof put it together in the first place.) [DrCurry, Aug 07 2002, last modified Oct 04 2004]

Learn from my book: NEVER try to change anything here..... |

thought it might have been a work of fiction about either a welsh steam train or a little wooden doll who has a friend with large aural organs. |

A book of fishboned ideas, perhaps. 1kg.
And 'Nick's Croissants'. 1g. |

[blissmiss]: I can't believe it... are you ~insulting my intelligence~? |
|
| |
I don't believe that is possible. |
|
| |
By the way, I never made it to the third level of the Halfbakery. Was there a secret door I missed somewhere? |
|
| |
you have to jump over blissmiss, take a croissant and type in XfishboneX - thats a cheat. I did not tell you that. |
|
| |
[po] you never got the book? |
|
| |
Little Noddy? I have the set. |
|

There are levels? And once again, i start to feel left out. *sniffle* |
|

No, just a Light Side and a Dark Side ...... go on, give in to your hate ..... |

Thanks for that link, [DryCurry]! That's helpful now that one of my previous methods of finding a category for an idea I'm posting has stopped working. (It was to use the browser's "find" function in the category picker on the new idea page, but Chrome stopped being willing to find in there and I think Firefox never was.) |

(I'm saying this on this idea, rather than the more relevant one where such a view was also linked, because: a) I saw this one first, b) this one was posted first, and c) I don't want to get sucked into a debate on the proper procedure for finding a category for one's idea.) |

I mean, you're absolutely sure about that, right ? |
