Hi all,
I've moved on from my initial projects involving Timelines (powered by Exhibit)
running off Google Spreadsheets. I'm currently working on designing a dynamic
department directory with Exhibit. You can see the page at
http://webdrive.service.emory.edu/users/bcroxal/www/english_grad_exhibit.html.
My questions have to do with the Tile view (called "Tiles" on my page).
Question 1. How do I get borders to show up around the tiles. I'm looking for
something similar to the borders on the "Details" view of the US Presidents or
the MIT Nobelists page.
Question 2. I have chosen to go with a dark blue background to match the site
into which this could be integrated. As such, I have changed the text color to
white. This creates a problem, however, when you want to change what you are
sorting by. If you click on "field," the box where you make your chooses is a
light tan and it is impossible to read the white text against it without moving
your cursor over. I have looked through a number of Exhibits, and since this
box is always this color I assume that it is something that is written into the
Exhibit javascript. Is there a way around this?
I get a similar problem in the "Thumbnail" view. I had also had a similar
problem in the "Hometowns" view, when you clicked on a point on the map. I got
around this by adding a <font color="black"> to the bubble controls as below.
<div ex:role="view"
ex:viewClass="Map"
ex:label="Hometowns"
ex:latlng=".hometown_LatLng"
ex:center="38.479394673276445, -30.361328125"
ex:zoom="2"
ex:colorKey=".entry_year"
ex:colorCoder="year-colors">
<div class="map-lens" ex:role="lens" style="display: none;">
<font color="black"><span ex:content=".label"></span><br/>
Thanks for any help,
Brian
