The Implemented Table








The Implemented Table
Name: The Implemented Table
Type: Character profile layout.
Credit: [info]scatterbrained or [info]mary_greenman.
Features
What can I say? I really like rounded images and this profile features 7 spots for roundifying html images! Woo! Actually this bb was the product of about a weeks worth of trying to play with tables & divs all in the same place.

I wanted a simple, sleek profile where the focus was on the text content rather than images. It's easy to edit, so if you don't like some of the stuff on the side, feel free to add/remove content. I really wanted to give people several ways to describe their characters, both in depth and "at a glance". I think my favorite part about this bb is the way the header sort of guides your eyes down to the bigger stuff. The shape is super interesting imo.

Originally, I was going to add lyrics between the six images beside the main header image. Unfortunately, due to the size of the table and the positioning of the images, there's just no way to add it in without it looking terrible. If you really want lyrics, I would suggest adding them in the History and/or Personality section.
MISC: Links to journals you're using this in would be loved! I'm a snoop and like looking at what people make from my stuff. ;)

LIVE PREVIEW HERE & slightly edited male version here.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU tables are the worst.

JQuery... honestly it's lovely and it works and it's fabulous BUT figuring it out can be a pain and a half. I did a lot of flailing in a JavaScript class the semester before last to figure it out, and a lot of the time getting your code to work can be finicky depending on what version of JQuery you use, whether you've got the right selectors, if you've made the right sacrifices to the JQuery gods..

UM YES I'm annoyingly chatty about HTML/CSS so I'm going to go add you on AIM right now. (I'm coldisthewater!) AWWW YISS except I haven't even gotten to put up my favourite yet (HBIC Pam).

YES TO TABLES. I mean I sometimes use them cause so many people DO NOT GET DIVS but I hate them (and it's easier teaching people html which I seem to do ALL the time but yeah divs = love). I usually cheat and combine the two to get what I want cause I'm that picky with my layouts.

Within IJ, tables can be a lot easier to get to behave themselves because they automatically have the capacity to line up side by side; divs have to be forced to float and cooperate, and it can take a lot more in-html code than it would in a regular page. But I'm so used to them now that tables don't work as well for me anymore. :/ I didn't get divs for the longest time either, and then my first web professor gave us a lecture about them that made it all make sense.

That's true and most people find it easier to do but really you can do so much more with Div's. Then again I've taught myself to replicate most stuff with tables with row and col span. Pain but it works...

Can I be a creepy stalker person and add you on AIM? I have some CSS questions and Google is not being very helpful right now!

Sure! That'd be no problem at all (:
