New easier to use Short archive page

I'm copying that for mysteries. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I WAS going to copy the script, however after seeing that the IFrame didn't look to good on Mysteries black background, I ended up creating an entirely new script.

Instead of creating an iframe to contain the short, I just created a blank image and the script just changes the src tag as needed. Much more simple, if I say so myself.

See for youself:

(note: the Display Short button is just there for cases when the image doen't automatically change when the option box is changed -- usually that would only happen if, on some browsers, you use the keyboard, instead of the mouse, to change the option)

An even better suggestion would just to make it variable width (remove the height and width tags or replace the numbers with *)

That wouldn't change anything.
The Iframe is in a table, with those icons at the top and the bottom.
So if you make it variable, the table would also become bigger and the icons aren't properly any more.

The hardest one was the "backwards" joke, heh.

Which one do you mean?
The one which is called "A joke"?

You should make the width of the Iframe a bit bigger, so that you don't have to scroll at short #0.

Why is there always a "-" after the titles?

Some suggestions for the titles...
Short #5: Change "Comic" to "comix", because that's how it is written in the short.
Short #8: Just name it "Hurricane". Nobody knows what you mean with Isabel (with only seeing the title.
Short #30: It's "Super Mario Advanced", without the "Bros."! Well, in fact it's also "Advance", without the "d".
Short #38: Call it "Ski Free". Reason: Same as at short #8.
Short #43: I prefer "Uses of hte Deathzooka" or something like that.

</font>[/quote]Yeah, because I didn't want to ruin the entire joke with the title (the whole backwards thing).

Yeah, I know Short #0 is a problem. But because it's the only one that's shaped oddly, I think I'll just ignore it and leave it as it is. Too much trouble to change the code just for one comic.

Heh, good catch. There are "-"s after the titles because when I made it, I was thinking about adding the dates when the Shorts were made. But since I'm home right now, I can't do that (don't have access to a lot of the dates). I may add them later when I go back to school next time, or I may just delete them if they look bad.

Thanks for the title change suggestions. I'll take a look at them and see what I think.-jay

Too much trouble to change the code?
Isn't it just ONE page which you have to edit?

And yeah, tell me what you think of the titles if you are ready! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ya' missed one Jay...Short 23. Though if that IS the name of the comix, might I suggest you somehow highlight "shorts"? Heh...

Penny Arcade: Jay Resop, you're under arrest!

O.o RUN JAY! RUN!

[Heroine of the Dragon]

Very sweet... good idea, CK, and well done on the end result, Jay!! *gives ya marshmallows* One day you'll eat one and see the world in very different and sparkly colours!

I updated the Shorts page with all of the dates. It was harder than it looked, since I never recorded the dates I made them for some reason...heh.-jay

That page doesn't come in on my computer, but I think it's just my spyware.

Bah.
You didn't change the titles [img]tongue.gif[/img]
