[edit] comments from 2005

The new version is about half the height of the old one. If anyone has any ideas about how to make it more readable or smaller or whatnot, please be my guests. If anyone is watching this page; is there any point to making it into two columns? I suppose this is the point of having a talk page, so I can try it out a few different ways... grendel|khan 17:00, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Two-column version

Here's a new version, using tables within tables. Looks fine, but the code to generate it gives me a headache. I can't deal with all that nesting. (It has to be nested three-deep, because, well, here's why:

header	flag
HEY! I SHOULD BE AS WIDE AS THE ONE ON THE RIGHT!	HEY! I SHOULD BE AS WIDE AS THE ONE ON THE LEFT!

Here's what we get when we use three-deep nesting:

header	flag
HEY! I SHOULD BE AS WIDE AS THE ONE ON THE RIGHT! HEY! I SHOULD BE AS WIDE AS THE ONE ON THE LEFT!

Implemented:

Sumatra (Sumatera) DI Aceh | North Sumatra (Sumatera Utara) | West Sumatra (Sumatera Barat) | Bengkulu | Riau | Riau Islands (Kepulauan Riau) | Jambi | South Sumatra (Sumatera Selatan) | Lampung | Bangka-Belitung Java (Jawa) DKI Jaya | West Java (Jawa Barat) | Banten | Central Java (Jawa Tengah) | DI Yogyakarta | East Java (Jawa Timur) Kalimantan West Kalimantan (Kalimantan Barat) | Central Kalimantan (Kalimantan Tengah) | South Kalimantan (Kalimantan Selatan) | East Kalimantan (Kalimantan Timur) The Lesser Sunda Islands (Nusa Tenggara) Bali | West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat) | East Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Timur) Sulawesi West Sulawesi (Sulawesi Barat) | North Sulawesi (Sulawesi Utara) | Central Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tengah) | South Sulawesi (Sulawesi Selatan) | South East Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tenggara) | Gorontalo The Maluku Islands and New Guinea (Irian) Maluku | North Maluku (Maluku Utara) | West Irian Jaya (Irian Jaya Barat) | Papua

Looks good, but the table nesting gives me a nasty headache. Let's try it by putting the two internal tables into DIVs, floating one left and one right.

I think I'm pleased with that; I don't think splitting it into three columns would provide any real benefit over two columns. grendel|khan 16:09, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
