#0, Weapon of Choice
Posted by Gryphon on Feb-29-12 at 03:22 PM
I wasn't sure at first how to go about annotating Weapon of Choice, since unlike our usual plain-text format, it hasn't got line numbers to work with. I experimented with a couple of different ways of doing it, and ultimately came up with this:

The Annotated Weapon of Choice

The trick was finding a way of making the tooltips that didn't require server plugins, since I don't have system admin privileges on the server where EPU is hosted nowadays, and I didn't feel like badgering Dave about it. After a bit of snouting around on the Web, I eventually came across Easy CSS Tooltip, which has to live up to its name if I'm able to make it work. :) (cf. the discussion of other CSS matters over in Featured Docs the other day.)

The tips do have an irritating habit of scrolling off the right side if they're anchored to a word that happens to be over there anyway, but as Phil said during testing, that's why we have scrollbars. :)
