Caution: ill tempered whine ahead. I’m starting a campaign to persuade all MT users to feel pity for the 13″ screen users of the world (that would be me) and make their comment boxes resizable! It’s easy to do (thanks to Shelagh for showing me how):
This is the code at the top of the index file:
function OpenComments (c) {
window.open(‘<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?’ +
‘entry_id=’ + c,
‘comments’,
‘width=480,height=480,scrollbars=yes,status=yes’);
}
To make the box resizable, put a comma after the status=yes statement, then just add the phrase “resizable=yes” (without the quotes). This will allow the comment box to be maximized when right-clicked. Your readers (like me) will thank you for it; it’s a pain to drop the task bar down and then raise it again after the box moves, and that’s not always successful.
Got any articles which need blue pencil work?
Thanks for showing me how to do this. As soon as I can get into surreally.net again (for some reason I can’t right now) I’ll add this straightaway to all four blogs which are part of VASE (that would be the Virtual Adept Spider Empire).
Okay! Okay! It’s been done. Just for you ’cause I love ya so much. 🙂
Aha! One convert in the VASE! Now if she of arachnid power could spread her knowledge to the remainder of the vast surreally empire…
Seriously, thanks.
i’ll do my best.
13″ monitor? i’m so sorry to hear that. i’ll try to spread the word.
i personally prefer the inline comments. and i’m going to go convert surreally main site to that right now.
I’m in the process of doing some housecleanging to my comments box, so this comes in very handy. Thanks!
Cool blog!
