Talk:USS Santa Ana

Tai, are you getting a line across the Runabout image? I'm seeing one on the Kaskaskia page too... CT

You can insert the following: <br style="clear:both;"/> ... to force a the next text to start after all wrapping around images is done. That should fix the "line" seen in some browsers. --Jon 07:07, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Interestingly, the line doesn't show across the image in Safari. Looked perfect at my house. Thanks for the tip though, I'm sure I'll use it often. --Tai 07:12, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Doesn't have that problem in Mozilla Firefox, either. "Has anybody seen Colin's browser?" --Jon 07:40, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

It's GOTTA be an Internet Explorer thing. ;-) --Tai 07:45, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, well, I gotta use IE since it, like, works with the apps I need to use it for. Besides, you do want the site to be readable by the 90% of folks on the Internet... 8-p ;-) CT

Yes, naturally. That's why we're testing it on Mozilla & Opera. >:-) --Jon 08:13, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

You know, I thought I started off on this Wiki spelling fictitious with a "T" and that YOU corrected me and said it was a "C". I've been sure to spell it with a "C" ever since. What I thought you said was, "Yeah, that's how I thought "fictitious" should be spelled, too, but it's really "ficticious." But what you REALLY said was, "Yeah, that's how I thought "fictitious" should be spelled, too, but it's NOT really "ficticious." " SORRY! :-P --Tai 13:24, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

I thought we were have a tomato/to-mah-toe fight. Perhaps you found somewhere the the "C" version was preferred, and I found on Webster that the "T" version was correct and we were embroiled in a cold war for the spelling of 'fictitious'. :) I was just having fun going behind you and fixing it everywhere! My first comment was when you had a link FROM the KT page TO the KT:fict page but it was red instead of blue. That was an alert that there must be a typo in the link, and I fixed it & posted in the Talk. Funny stuff! LOL --Jon 13:28, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Table

Jon, I tried again with the infor box, but this time with a straight HTML table. Unfortunately, my HTML-fu is not strong. For example, the table is at the bottom, and the entire article is the width of the table. Can you take a look and give some advice, please? Thanks! --Tai 11:22, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

Okay, I think I cleaned it up as much as I can without re-inventing the wheel. Converted everything I could into wiki-markup instead of html, and then framed it in a wiki table so it would flow correctly, and finally added a margin to the left of the table so it would not wrap too tightly. I suppose it could be made into a template, but I'm guessing we have three for four different ships like this to do, so the effort probably wouldn't be worth it. --Jon 13:08, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

Thanks! Can I just copy and paste this into the other ship articles and change the data accordingly then? --Tai 13:30, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

Yep. Just be sure to take everything from the {| down to the |}. --Jon 13:37, 28 September 2007 (CDT)
