in thread Table of Contents in Newest Nodes
i'd rather see something like the sample html below. i don't understand the use of an unordered list with anchor tags and hard breaks instead of list items, and i think a table offers more control. note that i added a row header, "Table of Contents." also, i renamed the existing css class and added others, and added a comma-space-hard break after New Notes.
<table class="nnTOC" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th class="nnTOCtop" name="toc_top"><a href="#toc_top">Table of Conten +ts</a></th> </tr> <tr> <td class="nnTOCbody"> There are <br /> <a href="#toc_New Discussion">5 New Discussions</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Questions">21 New Questions</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Meditations">1 New Meditation</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Patches">5 New Patches</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Perl Announcements">1 New Perl Announ +cement</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Cool Uses For Perl">1 New Cool Use&nb +sp;For Perl</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Code">1 New Code</a>, <br /> <a href="#toc_New Notes">234 New Notes</a>, <br /> and <a href="#toc_New Users">12 New Users</a><br /> not yet reviewed... </table>
here's how it looks:
Table of Contents |
---|
There are 5 New Discussions, 21 New Questions, 1 New Meditation, 5 New Patches, 1 New Perl Announcement, 1 New Cool Use For Perl, 1 New Code, 234 New Notes, and 12 New Users not yet reviewed... |
no css changes are neccessary to view this properly in any browser. with a little css magic, it's possible to make the TOC body appear on fewer lines: <style> .nnTOCbody br { display: none; }</style>
let me know what you think.
