MIDLMR:
http://SoCalLinuxExpo.Org/scale{1..999}x/schedule/{friday,saturday,sunday}table
needs to expand full-window and scroll more easily

   1. MIEOXN: A HEADS-UP:* just today this all was fixed & fixed
well*(thanks, cool!), my bet in response to my email to chair Ilan on
this which
   cite here; for full details, see the end of this for "MIEOFD: ..UPDATE".
   2. MIDN63:  *This is fairly important to fix *as the present situation
   would seemingly make it difficult & sometimes impossible for every attendee
   and reviewer to read the schedule.
   3. MIDLU5: This is what Sat 11:37pm I first wrote to SCALE11x chair Ilan
   trying to figure out where to send this suggestion, quote:
      1. MICQ6H:  I want to suggest that
      http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/schedule/friday (plus other
      day displays) expand to the full window width rather then being a
      constrained max width (about 1070px) as it's already hard enough to see
      with the underlying table's understandable wide width.
         1. MICQB8:  I've been exploring in-browser CSS style edits a user
         might do to fix this until your webmaster does so but so far
I've not found
         a single 1-line edit.
      4. MIDLVL: At Sun 1:51am he replied suggesting I post to this
   list scale-planning (why I post here) and saying "We agree the scrolling on
   that page could be improved and would
   be happy to have some feedback.".
   5. MIDMD3:  Also left-right scrolling is not obvious
      1. MIDMFU:  especially because the vertical content is fully expanded
      (so that vertical scroller displayed but inactive) so the horizontal
      scroller is lost down at the bottom of the table.
      2. MIDMKO:  An easy fix is to put highlighted just above the table
      say "To scroll table, click-and-hold within a displayed table cell then
      drag the desired direction (left,right,up,or down) so scrolling
as part of
      making an extended selection. In Chrome, *down* doesn't work so for
      that use the window vertical scroll bar.". Similar to having a
"hand" icon
      to scroll, this kind of scrolling is pretty handy once one has
gotten used
      to it,.
      3. MIDMXS: Also, when & as possible, put the horizontal scroll bar at
      the top instead of the bottom.
      4. MIDN3I:  Also, when & as possible, insure all scrollers (veritical
      & especially horizontal) always visible, as they are with a spreadsheet.
   6. MIDNDY: Very cool & proper that this table appears to be a pivot
   table automatically generated from underlining event entries.
      1. MIDNF1:  just make it display well (fully plus good scrolling)
         1. MIDNGI:  http://google.com/search?q=Drupal+pivot+table might
         find implementations which solve this
      7. MIDM1Y: I hope the web coders will fix these (for the fixed width,
   that might require a different theme (I loath fixed-with themes) else a
   theme-override on this page).
      1. MIDM9J: If that isn't fast, then perhaps someone can come up with
      a portable Greasemonkey
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey> script
      so users can .
   8. MIEOFD: =pst2013.02.17Sun2350: UPDATE,* all the above appears fixed
   -yeah!*
      1. MIEOH7: specifically, looking at say
      http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/schedule/saturday
         1. MIEOK3: the theme/page is no longer max-widthed but expands to
         my full window
         2. MIEOKY:  Indeed the page itself properly expands larger than my
         window, so the scrollers for just the table have disappeared,
leaving just
         the browser's scrollers, which is much better!
         3. MIEONV: The padding around the table looks like it has been
         properly reduced.
      2. MIEOPH: In short, more work but then *even better than what I
      proposed above! *
      3. MIEOQI: So since this happened since Ilan responded to this at
      1:51am,* I take it he followed up on my suggestion? :-) Else if not
      me, what triggered this change? How did it come about? And who did it?
      *
      4. MIEOWK: *Thanks for the great & super fast fix!*

MIEP8N: Sincerely,* -*Destiny <http://1.jothere.com/M6Dest> (Google
