Description

This module is quite useful. It occurs to me that the option to implement it as a block - and maybe even a collapsible block - would be a huge advantage. That approach might provide a reasonable workaround for some of the viewability issues that various users note as coming up with certain themes and browsers. (I'm having one at the moment with a Zen subtheme on IE6).

Wish I had the programming chops to pull this off. Happy to follow direction, if you want some collaboration (would be a good way for me to get better, I'm sure). Perhaps it's less complicated than I think?

In the meantime, I've been working on IE6 solution. Since IE6 does not support "fixed" positioning, the only solution I can see is to use "absolute" positioning and place it in a space that might otherwise be occupied by a block.

In any case, thanks for building such a useful module. With luck, perhaps providing feedback is at least a small way of contributing to the effort.

IE6:

* html div#block-feedback-form {
  position: absolute;
}

The same as patch.

Outputting Feedback in a block is treated in #327823: Remove from hook_footer.
