415763 - Category listing page should show experimental add-ons if selected

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

The category listing page has to obey the checkbox "show experimental add-ons".

Also, we need to make this "sticky" for logged-in users and remove the "sandbox" checkbox from the user profile page, as we have given up the strict distinction between sandbox and public areas.

All right, I implemented it. I removed the button from the user profile page and made it sticky on the listing pages instead. SVN r10289.

This "works" in IE 6/7, but those browsers require you to click away after toggling the checkbox's value (looks like they implement onChange event-handling differently); I'll spin off a separate bug for that (might require some serious hacks).

Anyway, this works beautifully as expected in:

* Firefox trunk (Minefield)
* Firefox 2.0.0.12 (All platforms)
* Safari 3.0.4 and 2.0.4 (Windows and Mac, respectively)
* Opera 9.25 (Windows)

At least, the sort buttons stay clickable (all of them, even the currently selected one) so MSIE users can click on the "show experimental" button and submit the form by clicking on the sort button afterwards, even if they have Javascript enabled and can therefore not see the "Go" button on the right hand side that would show up on Javascript-disabled browsers.

Indeed; I don't know what our support of "non-degraded" IE experiences is; I think it's entirely reasonable to expect the level of support we currently have (or will have, if we fix some obvious bugs) for IE 6/7, although I think we should try up to a point (basic functionality).

I wonder, too, if we should message the users of non-Firefox browsers to upgrade...
