Explore / Careers In Education (mix of JS bugs)

• when clicking on 19-25 years of experience the page reloaded to a blank page (did not happen with other year ranges). Once loaded, if I shift-reload everything worked fine/as expected
• Clicking the date ranges resets the keyword to the first one. I kind of understand why but it seemed odd.
• Job Titles are not clickable
• but Keywords are (I didn't realize this until I clicked one by mistake). Keywords should at least cause the cursor to be set to pointer (cursor:pointer in CSS). Actually, I'd go further and set cursor:default for the entire page (which will change it in most modern browsers to a pointer, and not the text-insertion cursor which is bizarrely the default if you don't do "cursor:default" in CSS. No, I don't understand it either).
• The Job Description Excerpt changes each time you click the date range (ie, click "8-12" repeatedly and you will get different excerpts), which is fine, but not obvious and I only found by clicking around.
• I'm not a UX person, but the "Degree Attainment" section seems oddly placed, and I don't have any suggestions of better placement. But it bounces around when the Job Description Excerpt is updated, and I didn't even notice the "See More" link until about ten minutes of screwing around on the page.
• Maybe have a "See More..." for Career Path and open up to a larger explorer/browser type window? It'd be kind of cool if you could pick an experience range and then click multiple keywords to filter results.
• Do you have any sort of language detection / analysis? I have been getting Dutch and German Job Description Excerpts (mixed in with the mostly English excerpts).

Inappropriate?Just to clarify: setting "cursor:default" will result in an arrow pointer for all areas where cursor: isn't set to something specific. Links should still end up with cursor:pointer (though for links added with jQuery you might have to add cursor:pointer). -
Inappropriate?Hi epc,
Thanks for your comments.
We're looking into your white screen issue. None of the Javascript in that module should be reloading the page at all, and that's a serious bug. Would you mind letting me know which browser and platform you're on?
We've been experimenting with the best way to display the Career Path information. I agree with your comments (especially how in the current layout it's inconsistent to have clickable description keyword but not job titles) and we'll be implementing some changes in the next week.
Ultimately, I'd like to add a "See more >>" link to the current module that will load a new page focused entirely on career progression, where you can see the changes from first job to mid-career to late-career at one time. Likewise with an education section, which would contain majors, degree attainment, and college/universities attended. What do you think?
We're not currently filtering out non-English resumes, though the vast majority of our full database is in English. As we add more data into the web application, the non-English documents will stop coming up so frequently.
Best,

This solves the problem

Safari 3.1.2 on OS X 10.4.11 (panther). Was very weird, only occurred with that one date range.
I'm not sure the page was actually reloading (I wasn't running a trace but it didn't look like it hit the server), it was more like the entire DOM tree got deleted(!). I don't know enough jquery to understand how it's working in that page but was wondering how it would react if the server replied with an error or otherwise unexpected data for the 19-25 job description. -
As far as layout: I'm wondering if a tag cloud would work (I don't think it would) or some other way of displaying the various facets.
(apologies for the separate comment, GS only provides 1 line for me to reply in here!)
