[edit] Bumps charts

Is it just my computer, or are the bumps charts names not lined up with the diagrams? Willkm 21:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Looks fine on my computer. It's probably something to do with the settings I've put into the table, or perhaps the font size that you are using. On your computer, are the names far away from the lines on the chart? I'm viewing it with the font size "medium" on internet explorer Richard B 23:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Mm, I'm using Safari. Here's a print screen. Perhaps the table could be somehow made to make the cells justify evenly over the length over the diagram?

OK, looks like you are using a smaller font than on my screen - and the cell heights on the table have shrunk to compensate. All I need to do is to have a fixed cell-height I think (to match the height of the template which creates the bumps charts).Richard B 00:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I've just attempted to put in fixed-height cells on the table, to match the size currently used for the blocks that make up the bumps chart. Does this work any better? Richard B 00:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm afraid it's still the same... it's odd. Willkm 00:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, that is odd. I've just tried changing my text size smaller, and it now looks ok when I do that (that's now been fixed). Your browser must be interpreting the wiki table commands differently to mine (the crew names and position numbers are all central on mine for one thing). I must say that I'm not familiar with Safari, or how it resolves the commands. I'll have a look into it, and hopefully we'll have a resolution somewhere. Richard B. Meanwhile, if you are desperate to find out what happened in these races, full charts can be seen for the Lent Bumps 2005 andMay Bumps 2005. Just scroll to the bottom of each page. 00:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, I'll try to look at it too. Willkm 00:42, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Just for info, the boxes that make up the charts are currently set to be 28 pixels high, so the cells should be set to be 26px high - there is a 1px border round every cell (i.e. between 2 cells, it will be a 2px gap)Richard B 00:47, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
