27163 - Search Widget and buttons in Address Book should be removed until hooked up

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect, P3)

Description

[sol]

The search widget in the Address Book and the "Stop" and "Search" buttons on the 
Address Book toolbar should be removed until hooked up. Unlike menu items, which 
will be greyed out if the underlying functionality is not hooked up, having a 
greyed out text entry field is confusing. I think it would be better to remove 
the text input (search) field and related buttons until the search functionality 
is hooked up.

Build ID - 2000-02-09-08

Steps to reproduce.

1. Launch Address Book (Tasks | Address Book)

Note: The Search widget appears at the top of the address book (under the label 
"Show names containing:"), and appears to be active. However, this functionality 
is not available, which makes for a confusing user experience. The buttons for 
"Search" and "Stop" include periods (".") before the button labels, but this is 
not very visible or meaningful for the user.

Fix checked in.  Simply commented out some lines of xul so that these widgets 
would not appear until we make them functional (after beta1).
