As it stands, the summary is vertical, but the search is horizontal, so
it's a hybrid.  The patron summary information matches what we see in the
vertical patron display from the XUL client.  I still need to integrate the
group and stat-cat displays from the horizontal display into the web client.

To (I think) answer your question, it's going to look a little different,
but all of the same information should be there.

With the vertical patron summary along the left, all of the page-specific
data starts at the top of the page, which limits the amount of vertical
scrolling required.

As it stands, the majority of alerts, confirm, prompts, dialogs, etc.
appear along the top center of the page as pop-up (modal) "windows".  For
example, type a string of random characters into the checkin box:
