Pop-up Dragable Action Window

Post by PapaGeek »

OK, now you will all know why I have the name papageek!

Papa: at age 63, reading the maps is easier at 125% or 150% zoom on my browser!
Even at 100% and on larger monitors, some of the maps are large enough that the top of the map disappears when you scroll down to the [Action] section.

GEEK: And I put that in all caps! What if you added a button next to the word Action that would allow you to pop-up a dragable window to perform the actions? You could then scroll back up to the map and move the action window around over top of it. If you are assaulting something on the right side, place the action window on the left and you can see the troop counts change as you hit the assault button. During reinforcement you cna see the troop counts change as you move things around.

I’m not sure of all the scripting that you are doing, but in JavaScript this is done with the .creaeWindow() method. You then use the document.createElement() method to build the content of the window.

I use these method to create trace windows to debug the complex JavaScripts that I write. If you like this idea, contact me and I’ll be glad to share the trace routines with you so you can see them operate.


OK, does that explain the name PapaGeek ?

I'm sad you didn't say PapaGeek a few more times in this post. Disappointing at best. :cry:
