This is looking really, really good. ~ James
Thanks - as you've probably guessed I'm having a bit of fun, and using it to learn the wiki mark-up too. Apologies to all for clogging the recently updated page though.
Should have some good new map stuff tomorrow. --OldNick 10:06, 7 March 2006 (PST)
There is some good wiki code you can use here. I'll start chucking some on, but don't feel you need to keep it if you don't like it. If I have enough time alone in the staffroom, I may even finish it. ;) ~ James
I have messed around with a few examples of <div> tags. The image is put inside div tags, which do nothing except turn it into a block level element. Inside the div tags for the map, you then add <div> tags which position small, one-cell tables containing the desired link.
I experimented with trying to compress the code, but that had a variety of effects. It appears that the carriage returns are necessary for the code to be properly interpreted.
After trying the map out with a variety of text sizes (browser defaults in the 'view' menu), I've found that the methods I have used only work with the medium, smaller, and smallest sizes; large and larger don't work, but then they pretty much wreck the rest of the wiki anyway.
The last example, over Minton, is possibly the best, though would require some explicit note about the map having clickable links. It is possible, I think, to circumvent the problem of default browser size, to enable the partially sighted to use the map, by way of carefully sized, empty, transparent tables as links, but I can't say I'm overly worried, unless one of the players needs it.
Anyway, let me know which style you like, and when I can find time, I'll start throwing more links on. --Ars Magica 18:24, 7 March 2006 (PST)
