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.

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

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" 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.

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

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)

Hey. New board.

Right now, if you want to be a little more ghetto about it, you could use:

#widemain img{display: normal;}

I just tested that, with all other images turned off. It works. But it'd be nicer to move the "map" div into the proper place in map.php.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Dude. I'm learnin' 'puter stuff. Thanks for the tutorials.

Actually I just shifted the placement of the javascript. It no longer correctly colours your own marker, but I can play with that tomorrow. The other images turn off simply enough.
