Floating Cast Table + Variations
A fellow RP buddy, themplusme, was in need of an easy-to-edit-later cast table. Seeing that the old floating table is either dead or disappeared, I went and made a new one for her to use and thought other RPers would find it useful. Included are variations in size and uses:

If you're using either of the 250px tables, adding an additional line shouldn't be a problem as long as each "box" will be four lines. The smaller dimensions, such as the 100x100, is sort of where the problem occurs since names, depending on their length, can inadvertently make the box length bigger. When using the float element and combining it with different length boxes, you run into the issue of stuff not aligning like it should due to the different dimensions for each box. However, if each box has the same content (lines in this case), you should run into that problem. However, if you do run into the issue, simply add the height:###px; element to the <div> just so all your div boxes are the same height.

Oh yeah adding a new line isn't a problem... what I'd meant to ask (and probably should've used better words) was that I was wondering how I get it so that I have 4 boxes per line.

At the moment it's just three boxes per line.

yeah with the names of some of the characters in our game combined with the PB names we're having a bit of trouble trying to find a cast table that actually works... and works for multiple resolutions - and that last bit is the tricky part.

	Oh, oh! I totally misunderstood! That's an easy solution, just increase the table width until you've got it with four across instead of three. :) Also, to make my previous explanation more concise, in essence you can have any many lines per box as you want, but each box must have exactly the same lines. I hope that makes more sense? (^_^); (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's alright, sometimes I'm not the best when it comes to explaining/asking. Awesome thanks. Gotcha. and definitely makes sense, don't want one box making everything else look wonky. (Reply to this) (Parent)
