* The only real problem is that the alignment will break if the captions are too long or the user's font size is too large. We can overcome this by forcing a pixel (rather than an em) value for the caption height and hiding the overflow, but that seems even worse.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 16:30, 13 December 2006 (EST) |

** I don't think too many people will be fussing with the captions (nor do they need to be the same length anymore ... I think we should leave it as is. And if a person knows how to change their font size in their prefs, I think they'll be alright for not having every word. Maybe that's exclusionist, but I don't think it's such a big deal that we need to change anything ... I have to say, this page looks amazing - and it gets better each time. Thanks for all your work on it - those kinks did not look easy to iron out ... - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 16:34, 13 December 2006 (EST) |

*** Actually, the problem is that the caption height ''doesn't'' stay the same no matter how hard I try to force a height value on it. There's no way to guarantee that the rows in the two tables will be the same height in different browsers, screen resolutions, or text sizes. (Go to the page and hit CTRL+Plus Sign a couple times, and you'll see what I mean). It won't obey either <tt>overflow: scroll</tt> or <tt>overflow: hide</tt>, and if the caption is longer than what fits in the declared height, it just adds extra height. Awful, awful, awful.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:07, 13 December 2006 (EST) |

Revision as of 22:07, 13 December 2006
This seems like it'd be a little easier to modify and maintain. Other than that, it looks the same as Prophecy/test, right? I say go for it this way - I don't see any disadvantages. (But then again, I'm nearsighted). - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:40, 13 December 2006 (EST)
- It's finished now. As an added bonus, we can bring the formatting back without it looking too gridlike, and we can still further subdivide either or both columns by episode if we want.--Hardvice (talk) 16:07, 13 December 2006 (EST)
