Bug Description
The new interface at jujucharms.com, while very snazzy, makes it a bit harder to find certain things.
In particular, it's not possible to load a single page, and then search within that page, using Ctrl-f. Instead, the user has to click on each tab, go to each page, and then Ctrl-f, in each page.
I do like the concept of putting some logical "bookmarks" on certain parts of the charm.
I'd suggest, instead, rendering all of the charm information in a single page. You could leave the tabs across the top, but instead, use the HTML tag for bookmarks within a page.
For an example, take a look at a manpage in manpages.
- http://
You'll see that that's a very long page, but there's a "Table of Contents" on the left. Clicking on any item on the left, such as "Examples" will jump you down the page to the Examples section:
- http://

A couple of challenges to keep in mind is that when using the Gui to perform a seach you've got multiple scrolls in play. There's the scrollbar on the left for the search results. There's the scroll of a charm details view which must be kept in sync. We can attempt to use scrollTo and move only the details when clicking on tab headings, but it cannot be a simple anchor system due to the multiple 'boxes' of content.
When you move down to a specific part of content, we need the ability to get back to the stop and move on to other tabs/etc easily.
