User talk:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox

Coding Help

Thought I'd comment here instead of Vista's talk page incase you have other questions. But to do what you want all you have to do is use the HTML header tags, in MediaWiki is adds an edit link, like so, I didn't nowiki it so you can see it working. I think that's what you wanted.--Karek^maps?! 17:58, 13 October 2007 (BST)

Current News

Thats exactly it, thanks!--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:09, 13 October 2007 (BST)

Once you have the links you can place them anywhere with the right code, it's somewhere on my user page I think. You just have to alter the section # in the link. --Karek^maps?! 22:16, 13 October 2007 (BST)

Opacity

I've been playing with your opacity thingy you had on your sandbox and trying to see if I could make a cool background. Its on my sandbox if you'd like to see my current work. I gave you credit for it on the original its above some other random coding things I've been trying. Anyways I was just curious if you knew a way to get a background to fade from left to right without doing a hundred tables :P        15:45, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

A hundred tables would work, and I've seen it used that way I think, but there also might be some method that I don't know of. Another option is to use an image as a gradient backdrop, but that way is not as flexible (the intro to my help page is an example, where the image is used as a background). Regardless, a good place to look for nifty code is the Uncyclopedia and Wikipedia, though the software there is of a better version and the Uncyclopedia in particular has a lot of awesome plugins/addons that we don't have. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 19:15, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm.. I don't mind the hundred table method but if there is a cleaner way I'd rather have it. I'll have to look around on that site. It should satisfy my interests rather. I just like learning how to code nifty things. Thank you :)        20:43, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Im not sure if you ever had plans on using the opacity thing but the new code I got to work for it is simply opacity:(0<n<1) I got an example in my sandbox if you'd like to see.       16:41, 31 May 2011 (BST)

Cool, and I didn't/don't have a plan for it, I just come across bits of code I like from other wikis, and stick it here for the off-chance I might use it. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:39, 31 May 2011 (BST)
