Template talk:Area

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template looks very sqaushed and it practically illegible in firefox

I have made an attempt to fix it. I did away with the E+30 and E+36 columns as they were unpopulated, and instead put E+41 in a row below with the explaining remark of "special areas". I tried hard to make "special areas" not bold, but have no idea how it is emboldened. Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of CSS (?) can help!?

I was able to make "special areas" not bold. The row it was in was considered a header (it used ! at the beginning), so I switched it to a regular row (using a | at the beginning). I can't figure out the squashy-ness, but at least I figured out one thing. ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 16:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I already sorted the squashy-ness (compare it to this) as someone has removed a parameter they thought was superfluous, but was required in Mozilla.

[edit] Excessive width

Can something be done to reduce the width of this table? I think presentation-wise it doesn't look very professional to force horizontal scrolling

[edit] Ugly

This is perhaps the ugliest template I've ever run across on Wikipedia. Its creator deserves some sort of medal. Jimp 05:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

hehe, I concur!

I agree; it's still one of the ugliest and most useless templates I've seen, and your comment was 6 months ago. Gene Nygaard 19:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Width

How about having the table in multiply rows to reduce it from forcing it self over the page boarder eg:

header 1 header 2 header 3 header 4
row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2 row 1, cell 3 row 1, cell 4
row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2 row 2, cell 3 row 2, cell 4

This way you should be able to keep the same data but it will be in multiply rows (3 rows from my calculations for 4 cells per row) and it should stop it going over the page edge. Peachey88 (Talk Page | Contribs) 09:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
