Question: Tacky be gone?

[Mitchman]

When we make spoilers the button appears and then a large bar. This was due to problems that have arisen and now it is not fixed. Any possible way the tacky bar(imo) will be removed or no?

 

[Rukario]

huh?

Spoiler:

what are you talking about?

 

[Mitchman]

I mean there is a long bar under the button for me. Is it my browser or what?

 

[Rukario]

do you mean the hidden space where the spoiler content actually goes? Its suppose to be there.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

That's always been there for me. I'd actually prefer a dotted line or something.

It can easily be edited in the BB Code Manager (replacement value) but I don't think it's a big enough issue, it's just a inset border. :(

 

[Mitchman]

Yeah that line. It has not always been there. i clearly remember before the incedent where the new style of the spoiler button was removed it was clean with nothing under.

I think it was there since the old spoiler didn't work for Safari users?

 

[Circuit]

That's always been there. I don't mind it being there though. I don't really care. it doesn't change the performance, so why should it bother you? Meh, your opinion.

 

[Vrai]

It doesn't particularly bother me, either. I usually don't notice it, much.

You guys really need to come to terms with the fact that we aren't going to tailor all of PC's aesthetics to your will. And we sure as heck don't need a new thread every time you have some little appearance "issue" to nitpick at.

I had that little diddy typed up earlier today, but I debated on posting it. It seems lately we've had an excessive amount of threads like these, and I'm not really sure why. Oo

There we go now I know why! But is that? Cause if it is for multi browser purposes ah well what can we do. But I find it a bit tacky but whatever if that is the case a bit tackiness for everyone to use the forums wouldn't hurt...

IMO, its no more tacky then the quote box or code box.. in fact it matches it quite well.

That's because the border style for it is inset.

Current:

Spoiler:

<div><div style="margin-bottom:2px; font-size: 12px"><b>Spoiler</b>: <input type="button" value="Show" style="width:45px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onClick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }">
</div>
<div class="alt2" style="margin: 0px; padding: 6px; border: 1px inset;">
<div style="display: none;">
{param}
</div>
</div></div>

Without inset (dotted):

Spoiler:

<div><div style="margin-bottom:2px; font-size: 12px"><b>Spoiler</b>: <input type="button" value="Show" style="width:45px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onClick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }">
</div>
<div class="alt2" style="margin: 0px; padding: 6px; border: 1px dotted;">
<div style="display: none;">
{param}
</div>
</div></div>

Hey, I kinda liked the way it looked :P But then, its gonna look different in different styles

Just deal with it, gosh.
The spoilers are fine right now, they dont need to look amazingly spiffy.

 

[micerunningonsundays]
