Elements Wiki / Re: Wiki bugs/problems.

I didn't mean to change the code to pure css. I meant to add css to the existing code. Css changes could fix the problem because you can adjust the way table cells overflow and the way the browser breaks words for word wrapping.

As for making tables from pure css... talk about a nightmare. There are a few solutions but none are cross-browser compatible.

Even the simplest fix would probably require updating every single card page. If that's the case I would strongly suggest changing the way cards are added to the wiki. Maybe using forms instead of wysiwyg.

Perhaps it has to do with the defined widths. A table as you know, always grows to fit the content so the overflow is probably pushing the tables to different widths.  It may be fixable with some css. Tougher to do since no css classes were set up in the table but still possible. That is, if that's even the problem.

I've compared obsidian pillar with liquid shadow and the code is the same. So it seems word-wrapping is what is shifting the table cell sizes.

Does that mean that the original problem Lylle was posting about still exists?

Edit: I see the problem now. It's happening on the fire page for me. It has to do with the nested tables. Here is just one section of it.

Code: [Select]

<table>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <td rowspan="3">
                <a href="http://elementswiki.co.cc/cards-fire/ash-eater-brimstone-eater/">
                  <img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://elementscommunity.org/images/Cards/AshEater.png" border="0" alt="File:AshEater.jpg" width="146" height="222" /></a></td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>Edit: It  seems that whoever is editing certain cards has horribly nested tables. Maybe it'd be better to have a template system for those pages(?). With many people editing pages each with different levels of coding knowledge and different coding conventions, it's going to get a bit screwy.

Game Suggestions and Feedback / Re: Is this farmville or what???

Pyros, I'm going to have to say that your attitude seems to childish to believe what you say about being educated on game design/game theory. You clearly can't even properly grasp at concepts as simple as "end game" and the need for farming. At no point in any of this thread did you offer one piece of constructive advice. Do you truly want less grinding? Quit. If you want to offer constructive criticism and support it with real examples, I'd actually like to hear you out. Specifically with regards to:

With a little bit of creativity there are many other options to a game designer.

The hover info is great! I have a suggestion though. Is it possible to make it happen only with certain events? Specifically only if you hold down a key (such as shift, for example).

Html5 is doing it's best to replace both flash and it's alternatives. I wouldn't spend too much time re-doing anything just yet.

I like it. It reminds me a lot of the puppetmaster puppets.

I'm not sure the cards are even cut to a perfect transparency. The image has a small border anyway. It just blends well with the current color theme. This is what it looks like with a black background in that table cell.

You could always make them jpg and then make rounded black or white corners with css. It'd just end up looking a little different.
