LW. Making it a better place...

Post by GigaWatt »

Proposal

Global (.css):
td { text-align: justify; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px; }

Local (page):
<head>
...
<style type="text/css">
td { text-align: justify; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px; }
</style>
...
</head>

Local (cell): game description, publisher/developer, game title only, for example.
<td style="text-align: justify; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;">

text-align -
mandatory:global
padding - optional

So, this aligns end of text lines by inserting extra space in between words i assume. I'm not sure if this is preferrable as it will then be one big square of text in every entry. What do others think?

I don't know. I have a bad time visualizing code to end product. I'd need a preview of some sort to decide.

It's added on site now, I like it - looks neater without text starting right at edge of table line.
What do you all think?

The top menu bar needs to be moved down; it's within the site logos. Other than that it does look better.

Scaryfun, also

1. Please do justify the text inside table data cell with links to bookmarks (i.e. <a href="xxxx"> text | .... | ) as well.

2. The year (<h1><center>xxxx</center></h1>) should be centered to the box below, now it looks like it's going to run away somewhere.
Put it inside a table with invisible borders, for example.

3. I suggest adding all these paddings and alignments to the main css either as global or a separate td class, also do shorten the padding style string, i.e. padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px -> padding: 5px 10px, this will save us some extra space. :lol:
