Re: More ways to download code...

BTW, personally I'd like it if the link were closer to the code block vertically, but I haven't quite worked out how to do it, as it seems to vary anyway, at least in Firefox anyway.

Can you put the code block and the d/l link in a table so they're side by side? or does that cause problems with the code wrapping?

# current:
<pre><tt class="code"><font size="-1">my $message=&quot;Hello world\n&
+quot;;
print $message;
</font></tt></pre><div class='embed_code_dl'><a href="?part=1;abspart=
+1;displaytype=displaycode;node_id=487248">(d/l)</a></div>

# like this?
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td>
<pre><tt class="code"><font size="-1">my $message=&quot;Hello world\n&
+quot;;
# adding filler lines
# adding filler lines
# adding filler lines
print $message;
</font></tt></pre>
</td><td valign="bottom">
<div class='embed_code_dl'><a href="?part=1;abspart=1;displaytype=disp
+laycode;node_id=487248">(d/l)</a></div>
</td></tr></table>

Not sure what the valign should be by default.. i think you can equally argue for all 3.


Or even like this (but requires changing "dev.embed_code_dl" in the style sheet to be ".embed_code_dl" or "td.embed_code_dl"). Note that the valign should be added to the embed_code_dl class as well.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td><pre><tt class="code"><font size="-1">my $message=&quot;Hello worl
+d\n&quot;;
# adding filler lines
# adding filler lines
# adding filler lines
print $message;
</font></tt></pre></td>
<td class='embed_code_dl'><a href="?part=1;abspart=1;displaytype=displ
+aycode;node_id=487248">(d/l)</a></td>
</tr></table>

Update: hmm.. i think if the above is done, that multiple "(d/l)" links on a node (for example 487227) won't be aligned horizontally (i.e. all directly above each other) unless a td width for the left cell is specified...
