At some point, it will probably need some kind of better organization.. like tabbed browsing of neighborhoods within certain areas. drumguy8800 C T 17:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What Constitutes What

This template is certainly open to variation / additions .. just please make proposals before messing. I would very much like input on exactly what constitutes a neighborhood, community, district, whatever.

Really, I would much rather just be told what goes where. I think I have most of them correctly positioned, but I certainly am no expert on all the areas listed.. I probably have some missing and what not, anyway. Help me out if you please. Drumguy8800 07:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I would probably demote Munger Place to a neighborhood and add a community called Old East Dallas. That would include Munger Place, Junius Heights, Swiss Avenue, and Peak's Suburban Addition. Basically everything between Lakewood and Downtown. Lakewood's trickier because it refers to both a specific neighborhood (roughly between Mockingbird and Gaston and between Abrams and White Rock Lake) and generally to the area west of the lake and south of Mockingbird. Sometimes it can even refer to the original part of the Lakewood neighborhood, the very southern end near Lakewood Country Club. As you can probably tell, I live in east Dallas. --Radial 17:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and made the change I was talking about in the previous entry Radial 18:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tabbed Browsing Issues

Is anyone else having problems on the article pages switching between tabs? Is that not supposed to be possible? Whenever I click on another tab, it goes straight to that article instead of bringing up another subgroup.Thisischris 14:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah unfortunately that's the only way it can work given current wikipedia policies on DHTML or javascript integration. Decided that its more efficient than an entire list of all neighborhoods.. just check out Lake Highlands and look at the template at the bottom of it to see why. I actually just got an idea.. I'll look into it later tonight to see if it would make actual tabbed browsing semi-plausible. drumguy8800 C T 20:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Something to think about would be to have just hide/show sections with all but the current defaulted to hide. I'll wait and see what you have up your sleeve though Thisischris 20:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Well that was essentially the idea, except even that would take up too much vertical space. drumguy8800 C T 03:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
