Yeah I just added that far-right column while playing with spacing in firefox.Andon wrote:QUOTE (Andon @ Jan 28 2009, 04:14 PM) Huh.. In chrome, on the far right, I have an empty column, no name or values. I can sort by that column though, but it just sorts by rank.
It prevents the scrollbar from forcing the entire table's values to be pushed to the left since the column is as wide as the scrollbar itself.
When it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped, I thought I had reverted it back to the original.
Guess not.
One good thing about yesterday night's tweaks is the caching flag though. Now ISPs will keep a copy of the page in their cache for a minute. This means that if there are other Allegiance players using your ISP and they hit the leaderboard before you (within 60s), you'll get your copy of the leaderboard from your ISP instead. It'll load faster, and reduce the load on our ASGS box
But yeah, there are still definite drawbacks in IE and Opera since I haven't done enough development for either.
I must say - writing high-performance, high-availability web applications that look the same in all modern browsers is no easy task.
This project once again highlights my clear strengths and weaknesses though. I can program the $#@! out of back-end systems, add 10-fold performance increases by tweaking the OS, AppServer, and caching algorithms... but making something look good? HAH! good luck, Tiger!
I've never been good at making things look good. Pook on the other hand was a wizard with styling. Things like this (and our BLOGS!) make me miss him a lot
