parameters on template

Hi Robert you'll note I put the parameters/usage descriptions onto the main page. Clearly they are not complete and I see you have them here too. I had not noticed earlier. With respect to trouble shooting, some of the coloured triangles stick to my screen. When I scroll they do not move at all. It is if you have fixed their location based on the screen rather than the location in the page. I assume this does not happen in your own browser? FYI, I am using a MAC with safari.

Chris, provide me with screenshots so I can see. If you can email them to me that would be great.--Robert W King 15:23, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Sweet Jesus!--Robert W King 15:28, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

You saw the screen shot before I posted here? Or is this with resepct to something else? Chris Day (talk) 15:35, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

The left screen shot is what i see on the main page of this template with no scrolling. So already you can see there is a problem with location. The right screen shot shows what i see after scrolling down the page a bit. The text moves to the top of the screen but many of the elements in the template stay fixed (appear to move down the way I have presented the screen shots here).

What happens if you check it on Scandium? Same thing?--Robert W King 15:33, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Here is the scandium screen capture. The same problem (this predates you recent changes mentioned below). Chris Day (talk) 15:50, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Do you have another browser to compare it against? I'm going to have to do some research on CSS and Safari to fix it. --Robert W King 15:48, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

I just checked with firefox, it's exactly the same problem. I don't have IE. Chris Day (talk) 16:05, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Check it now. http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/safari_css.html lists the supported CSS elements, and I'm checking the code against it. --Robert W King 15:36, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

For you reference with the following header:

table border="0" align="center" width="{{{size*4}}}" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" 
style="background:#{{{background}}}; z-index:2; margin-bottom:0px; table-layout:auto;"

The problem persists. Chris Day (talk) 16:00, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

I pulled out the align=center bit, although that causes it to slide way over to the left in the wikimarkup.--Robert W King 16:00, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
