Match up 2 players, or more.
« Thread started on: Jul 4th, 2003, 12:03am »

Hey there.

I remember at Mariokart64.com there was an option to match up two players against each other and see who is victorious for the certain records.

I was wondering, would id be possible to do the same here?
I think it would require alot of work though.

Is it possible? Yes.

Have I thought of that idea before? Yes.

Would I like to do it? Yes.

Do I have 100 things that I've already start that need to be done finished before that? Yes.

Don't get me wrong ... keep coming up with the good ideas ... but I can't create them nearly as fast as you guys can think them up! I'm still wrestling with the Javascript menu ... work in progress viewable at:

http://fzerocentral.com/js

And the menu is delaying other key projects such as better profiles for FZMV and FZX and PHP track rankings for FZMV. And ALL of it will halt when I have to build FZGX, which I can't do much of in advance without risking having to change it all later due to the discovery of hidden tracks or whatever other twists might be thrown my way. August will be FZGX month, so I'm trying to get as much other stuff as possible done in July.

Good, it'll be ready to go soon. Once it's ready you can bookmark the page and never have to use the older system if you don't want to. Both will work 100% (fingers crossed).

Ugh, crossing my fingers didn't provide any luck at all! The Javascript menu system project is 99% dead.

I keep running into roadblocks that appear to kill my plans but then I find ways to get around them. But now I hit a snag that I can't get around.

For those of you who are technically minded, here's what happened:

Of the decent JS menu templates I've found, only one has the ability to work across frames, meaning that I can have the categories (the pictures in our case) in the top frame, and the menus dropping down into the bottom frame. Frames are necessary to keep the original pages "as is" to be able to keep both systems of menus working.

But this latest problem is that I discovered is that any links on the resulting page kill the JS menu. For example, I can make the menu work to go to the How To Join page, and I can separately make the menu go to the Rules page. But when I go to the How To Join page, and then click on the Rules link that's on the How To Join page, the JS menu fails. There's no fix for it, and there's no way around it because obviously the site's pages have MANY MANY links built into them. The script just isn't designed to handle such a complex site.

This whole week of work has been wasted.

I apologize for getting everyone's hopes up, my hopes were very high also. But we can't turn our backs on our members who are unable to use Javascript.
