It's not tabular data. Therefore it doesn't belong in a table like this.

I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.

Delete the whole blog you have the power to do it.One day I hope I actually do something right in your eyes Chris because the only time I get posts from you is when I am wrong

WoulD you like tables like Pyromaniac and I have, with categories, description & base app links? I can post the code for you if you'd like.

How about something simple like the outdated apps page: https://portableapps.com/node/19705

Just STRONG for the 'headers' and simple UL unordered lists with LI for each element. Just be sure to close your ULs after each set (that was the issue with your original post that I stealth-fixed Smile ). If you're having trouble, I'd be happy to help Smile

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Was something that looked nice, had info, does not require me to scroll a page on laptop to see the main contents. Maybe I think outside the box? I know tables are not the real official way to have it. Technically speaking But I see no reason why if something works it can not be used? I remember when I needed to create paper forms for a job I had. No matter what I did they looked like garbage. So I thought outside the box. Ended up creating them in Excel. Were they spreadsheets? Nope. Did it accomplish the end result I wanted? Yes. Was boss happy with finished product? Yes.

John I know it was "fixed" But the effect I w anted originally was the effect I got it was in an Outline stepped format. Was my method of doing it wrong, probably, but the look was what I wanted. Guess what I am asking is although technically my methods are incorrect the final o ut come achieved what I wanted.

So at this point I give up, I have tried and tried to conform to standards that I guess I never will be able to confirm to. I have busted my butt doing what I like, and the end results just cause me more hassles. I Labor hours and hours to make things right, yet seems I fail with ever undertaking I take on.

Maybe the best thing would be to delete this entire thread and I will go back to just having fun?

This is not meant as a criticism to anyone other than myself.

The only thing 'wrong' would be that the Filter for Full HTML is only intended to be used on pages by folks who know it. It can't figure out unclosed table tags, for instance, so can mess up other views. Take a look at what it did to the whole site's blogroll, for instance: https://portableapps.com/blogs

Edit: You fixed it as I was posting this. The page before was indented about 1/2 way across the screen and began with multiple copies of your headers from your table but none of the content. This was due to you using a table with some broken code and no properly telling Drupal where the 'summary' was for your post.

Or was that a comment meant to say I really screwed up?

I have reverted back to what everyone wanted me to do. As far as I can tell from the comments.

I think it looks nice.
And as Gord said: If you still want a table, Id be happy to share my codebase Smile

Just had to laugh when I saw in your introduction post So just what the heck is a VF2NSR where you said

Now as to my PoretableApps life I started here because I had a need for apps that I could run from my USB drive while working on customers computers.

And then I noticed in this post that 6 of your 8 Officially Released Apps are games. What is it that you do at customer sites? Wink

On a more serious note, thanks for your work. I love the "Quick" games you have released!

Cheers

It amazes me that on the internet you can be anything you want, and yet so many people still choose to be idiots.

I first used Portable Apps for Firefox as many times if a customer had a hijacked web browser I could at least log onto the web, also I used Revo Uninstaller as well as Glarys Util. Plus cariou sother "techie" type programs. As for my official apps Well John decides what goes official and what do not not me lol....but on a side thought Sometimes when at a customers I would have to run scans etc that took quite sometime, so instead of twiddling thumbs and looking bored a quick game was always good ( Smile )

BTW I was oh so happy to find the freeware quick games, literally took me over a year at the time all I really wanted was Cribbage, but then discovered his other games and got permission for them all, I just wish he would re-make his BlackJack game (only 16bit) at least bring it up to 32 bit.

And thanks for actually reading my blog

Thought would post the updated list since I was lucky enough to have a few apps go official since my last update of March 2012
