Yes I have been talking about this with vic when making lfsw, but the problem is that the html will be HUGE then, as you have to add this into every single table cell (cant adress columns, only rows).
So lets say if you need 20 characters code per cross, for 400 servers and 20 cars... bling 160kb more data :X
And the serverlist is already very huge, it's the slowest page of all lfs websites, simply because the browsers get slow when dealing with SO much information. And it's even worse when you put this in a table.
Another idea would be keeping the header row with the car names in it always on top (fixed position even when scrolling), but due to the way the website works, this would be a big messup
Vic would have loved to put more cool features in it, but todays browsers are just too f***ed
I'm not a css-wizard, but looking at the actual html:
<td class="rlb3" valign="top" width="9">
All those cells already have css-classes.
a) You probably could include the popup-thing into the css (and then have different classes like "FXO" etc)
b) You could at least put the valign="top" width="9" into the css class and have enough "space" to insert the popup-thing without increasing size at all.
(Btw, why is the valign there? The crosses are sitting in the middle anyway, as the rows have the correct height)
Having said this, I must admit that css tends to work on all but one browser and this was maybe already tried and thrown away.
TheDeppchef: I dont know if every car has its own class, but iirc vic only made one for each background color (the tables have 2 colors, one for the even, and one for the uneven). Now when you combine this, you would also end up with a couple of classes, and I dunno how vic codes the php stuff that generates the tables. All I can say it might be very uncomfortable to manage those classes at some point.
I guess it's really a good idea to make use of one of the most unkown features of html and css: put 2 classes into one class attribute definition, seperated by a spacer. I know that vic knows this trick, but maybe he didnt know it when he made lfsw2 (I think the same list was already in the 2.0 version).
Well I can't really say much more than speculating, maybe vic can think a bit about it. Yet again :P
