My ignorance is showing. I was imagining a battery of buttons being the same length on one and fixed padded on another.
I'm having difficulty imagining this. Why wouldn't the textAlign property
cover that?
Ah, that's because you don't realize how wild my imagination might be when I'm ignorant.
I was picturing that three buttons in a column (assuming that is allowed in both platforms) might be required to be different on two platforms:
Platform 1. All buttons in a column must be the same width, a multiple of 10 pixels in width and greater than 25% larger than the text content. However, if any button is not related to the other the interbutton spacing must be at least 4 pixels greater and the size must be at least 10 pixels different.
Platform 2. All buttons (in a column or not) must be exactly 42 pixels wider than the width of the text.
See? I need to read those HIGs. My fears are getting the best of me.
I have heard something on this list or related list that the "done" button goes in different places on different platforms. I assume that can be handled with profiles or a tiny bit of scripting.
(Oh, yeah. When I'm in a hurry, I don't set textAlign right or at least not in the most robust way. Thanks for the reminder.)
