Template talk:Showhide

Explanation

I think an explanation of this template would be useful. I've seen it used, and can just about use it myself, but I think I could gain more from reading about it from someone who knows more about it. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 08:41, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

I would assume it's similar to wikipedia's ShowHide template. But given that the person who wrote the template is no longer active, I doubt it's possible to get much more information than that. --Nephele^Talk 22:24, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Functionality issues

Not sure if it's a problem with my system or something wrong with the template, but I am not getting the show/hide option. All I see is the header text and none of the content. (Example below) --Enodoc (talk) 12:21, 4 September 2012 (EDT)

Example Title

Example Body

Probable issue with the wiki upgrade, and reported on the Administration board. The Silencer (talk) 12:28, 4 September 2012 (EDT)

OK thanks. All working now. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, my Watchlist was not emailing me changes to watched pages. --Enodoc (talk) 14:09, 14 September 2012 (GMT)

Show button clashing

Currently the show button will display on top of the title string for small browser width. I tried to fix that, but only came up with a solution to reserve a fixed pixle width (45px in the example) for the show button. I there anything better we can do? Anyway I think it's still an improvement if we cannot come up with something better.

Examples:

This sandbox is owned by a user who appears to be inactive. To avoid unnecessary maintenance edits, it has been blanked. If you are the owner of this sandbox, welcome back! If you'd like to return to what you were working on, you can click here to find your last saved version (usually the second one listed) and continue working on it.

Some long text: jjgh hghjhg hgjhg. This is the old show/hide behaviour, clashing for small browser width.

The only thing I can think of is a div within a div, or perhaps a table, where the outer element is set to width:auto or width:100%, but I'm not sure if that would work with the javascript. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 20:33, 14 February 2013 (GMT)

Yeah, that's another restriction. The current Javascript searches only the direct children of the NavFrame classed element for a NavHead classed one to add the button to. --Alfwyn (talk) 20:38, 14 February 2013 (GMT)
