== Proposal: Short button captions for collapse tables ==

Can you add a shorter caption version of the collapse buttons? Maybe [+/-] instead of [show/hide]? [[User:Geva Zeichner|Geva Zeichner]] 12:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

: No, it's not intuitive and the TOC uses show/hide as well. Most people prefer show/hide (there was a shorter version in the past.) —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:40, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:: Is it possible to make it as an option (for those crowded places)? [[User:Geva Zeichner|Geva Zeichner]] 17:14, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, why is ''Button.style.width = "6em"'' so wide? it takes also a lot of space. [[User:Geva Zeichner|Geva Zeichner]] 13:29, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

: This is a safe upperbound on the maximum length a six character label can take up. Is it causing a problem somewhere? —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 13:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:: Please have a look at my [[User:Geva_Zeichner/Sandbox|sandbox]]. As you can see, the show/hide button that I'm trying to put in the template, takes too much space. [[User:Geva Zeichner|Geva Zeichner]] 14:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

::: I didn't really design this with infoboxes in mind. I could make some changes to make it work better with those. You should seriously consider if you really want to put that much information in an infobox though. In a lot of situations ''all'' the information is shown (when printing an article, when using text-to-speech software, when using browser that doesn't fully support CSS or JavaScript, ...) so the fact that it ''can'' be hidden shouldn't be part of that consideration at all. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 14:40, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

:::: I didn't think about it until now. But still, I am convinced that the option should exist. For some public figures that amount of information isn't too much at all. And for those, printing it all out actually sounds just right. When necessary, the information could be simply not included at all.<br />It would be great if you can make the changes to better the button's look in infoboxes.
