Hi all,

Can someone point me to a great layout or best practices for Search
and select (using three chunks - parameters, results, and selections?)Needs to
be a widget in one screen using Ajax/partial refresh...

The biggest issues
is how to keep the selections visible (as they should be persistent - as user
I want to keep those handy).  If they are placed after the search results at
the bottom, they easily become pushed below the fold if you have a long list
of results, and if to the right, hard to get to look parallel with the
selected items in the search results list. (again, if results are long).
One thing I thought of was to allow the selections to 'float' and roll down
the page alongside the search results (so selections are persistent).
Thoughts?

Thanks!
