Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha. Timing crossed.

Jon, if you can find out a way to turn on the images for just the map on the map page, that would be great. I'm forcing them all back just there.

No rush. Been quite a bit of Sunday coding already.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

One more thing regarding

the <span class="span"> </span> solution.

Can the text of quickedit.php be changed from font to span encoding in the HTML section, and in the quickedit section, do something like:

creates spoiler or white font hidden text to the end of the current line

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Does the map have an id? If not, give it one. I believe id css overrules class css.

Now all I need is the ability to create more style-sheets, one of which I would use from my phone (no links on the left, no admin threads, no quote, no images, no tags).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm trying to figure out why people who use default settings should have to learn new behaviors because a few people decide to customize their browsing experience away from a white background. I think that if you decide to customize your background, you can ask that people use the shortcut, but if someone forgets and uses color="white" understand that you're on your own.

Sure. But that doesn't mean there's any harm in putting the new way (which works for new or old style) in the help docs, or posting a request.

I think we should have been asking for t span the whole time, honestly. HTML changed in the world at large, but our posting habits didn't.

Does the map have an id?

It does--I'm memfaulting on the CSS to hit the img tag in that id.

Hey. New board.

Register under a second userid that you use only for your phone.

Thought of this, actually. Not really ideal since it wouldn't keep track of new posts. I was mostly kidding anyway - the board as is looks pretty great on my phone, certainly more than fine.

I think the next major iteration of CSS driven site is shared sheets. We can also start monkeying with css and media types.

Hey. New board.

ita: It looks like the map image isn't falling correctly within the "map" id div. When I look at the source code, I see:

<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 300px">
</div>

Before I see the script for the map. If you move that closing div behind the script, then you should be able to use:

#map img{display: normal;}

(Actually, I'm guessing on the "normal" part)
