Nihonto Knowledge Base Update

[Darcy]

You can go to the Nihonto Knowledge Base straight from the Nihonto Messageboard by clicking on the "Swordsmith Database" link on the top of the page, set up by Brian.

 

After a long while of not touching it, I finally got around to hammering out some changes that should make it operate much better under Firefox, and so most likely all other browsers. IE has some really nice features for dealing with asian text that I was using, and since nobody else seems to have adopted the CSS3 standards to handle this I just gave in and recoded it to format all of the text by hand.

 

I fixed some bugs in the code too that caused Firefox to be unhappy when editing and such.

 

So if you were a Mac user or a Firefox user and didn't use the NKB because of the formatting issues, give it a shot now. I have not yet tested for Safari but it seems to work fine and I am happy with the layout under Firefox. If anyone spots any issues, please contact me through my website.

Darcy, the symbiosis of top quality pictures, Flash sites and WWW

availability is making wonders as regards spreading of knowledge.

And you are at an high level in these things.

Thanks.

I'm a Mac user and everything seems to be working fine. However, the form boxes and the "submit" button seems to be cut off just a wee bit on the right side. I'm not sure if it is a Safari issue, but I will test the code in Firefox in a few minutes.

@ Ranger.

Hi Sir. Glad to have you here.

Darcy,

 

Excellent work, and one of the most useful Nihonto tools on the net. It is looking good, and works well for me. I like the improvements too. So the idea is that people who know their field well..can update the info there and build up the dtabase?

Thanks for the effort and work you put into it. I can assure you it does not go unnoticed :lol:

Yeah it is for anyone to update... it was meant to be a community project, where we all could do a bit to fix information there or add it. Except only one or two other people ever bothered to update records.

 

Because there was no interest in that I didn't bother adding any more features.
