Hi Ernest,
I’m always happy to provide feedback because you always fix the problems! You are seriously the most attentive plugin author I have ever come across, and I’m grateful for it! =)
1. Mistake in Variable Examples for Results Information Box
Indeed, I will correct that.
Sounds good!

2. Question Regarding the Width/Height Units for Isotopic Results
Yes, that is intentional, as percentage height in this context means ‘in relation to the container’, but the container height is not fixed, so it would be 0 all the time. I am working to implement a way to allow % values relative to the item width/container width.
Thanks for clearing that up. I only need to define the height in pixels anyway, but was curious about this.

4. Isotopic Results (Cards) Height Being Cut Short on Tablets and Phones
I believe this is due to a mistake I made during the implementation, where the tablet height value is actually reset to 200px. It was reported a bit earlier. During the copy/pasting 1 character was not selected, so a non-existent option is parsed, and the plugin resets it back to default, which is 200px.
I’m glad this was an easy issue to identify. I see you posted a plugin update today that fixes this. I’ll install the update tomorrow and will test it, and then confirm for you its fixed. Thanks!

5. Isotopic Results Momentarily Close/Reopen on Touch Devices / Related Disruption of Results Information Box
This was the case in earlier releases, but in a recent release I fixed this, so that the isotopic container does not need to reset anymore on orientation or window width/height changes. You also mentioned that the info box message is incorrect in some cases, which is mostly parsed from item visibility. I am almost positive, that both of these are going to be related to another custom CSS rule, just like that other issue before.
You can also try the demo as comparision test to see if this behavior exists there, but I am almost sure it shouldn’t.
Do you have by any chance a collection of the custom CSS rules you use in relation with Ajax Search Pro? If you do please copy/paste it here or to a gist file, and I will test them to see if they cause any similar conflicts.
I should mention that this is happening only when pressing the more results button on touch devices. You mentioned changing the window dimensions or orientation, and that is not the trigger here. It seems to be related to the pressing of the button only.
Ok, so I just tested your demo site as suggested, and believe it or not the problem is occurring there as well. I went to your isotopic page using my iPhone 7 Plus. The search was a little difficult to use because it wasn’t properly sized to the window, but I was able to see what happens when pressing the More Results button. I did a search for “car” which brings up a few pages of results. As soon as I pressed the More Results button the isotopic results momentarily closed/re-opened just as is occurring on my site. So it looks like this may be unrelated to my css after all. As far as the other issue with the incorrect count in the info box, that feature isn’t enabled on your demo site. But I think it’s safe to say the same problem would have occurred.
I can send you my custom css file for ASP (it’s a separate file), but this forum doesn’t allow attaching of css files. Can I email it to you directly if necessary?
This is one of those really insidious issues that I hate. But I’m confident you’ll get it solved!
Have a great day/night Ernest!
