This is possibly, but not necessarily, especially so when you use large fonts. To reproduce, set the minimum font size in Firefox to the largest available setting. I wonder if a non-hovering solution is possible? I know we discussed this before at one point, with several good designs. Thanks.

The current design seems okay to me—notwithstanding the flaw you mention—because it strikes a good balance between making the TOC easily accessible and minimizing the amount of space it takes up. Of course, this is predicated on the assumption that people actually want to use the TOC, and often enough to justify it taking up that space. Meanwhile, for a quick fix, try this user style: http://userstyles.org/styles/47418/worg-disable-fixed-toc Aankhen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Considering that Samuel is making his argument from accessibility perspective, "Accessibility" is one another predicate that is missing in your assumption.

I’m not sure how accessibility is hindered, given that the contents of the page are still perfectly accessible. All the fixed TOC does is obscure a very small portion of them on occasion, which can be rectified by scrolling. I would call that inconvenient, not inaccessible. Unless there’s more happening here beyond what I’ve seen, that is. Aankhen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Now that does seem like a gamebreaker, accessibility-wise. Aankhen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I use conkeror as my web browser and navigate almost exclusively with the keyboard (mouse use affects my RSI). These pages require me to use the mouse to access the table of contents. But I do like how the table of contents functions otherwise, I must admit, which is why my own personal pages use this default configuration. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.246.ga35b4.dirty) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
