Often some of the guys want to show a Lineup for a team and resort to ascii art . You could have a unique soccer template for the fellas to fiil in and show it . something like this : Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title></title> <meta content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/mobile/html32template" name="vs_targetSchema"> </head> <body text="#ff3366" rightMargin="60" ms_positioning="GridLayout"> <TABLE height="472" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="741" border="0" ms_2d_layout="TRUE"> <TR vAlign="top"> <TD width="10" height="34"></TD> <TD width="731"></TD> </TR> <TR vAlign="top"> <TD height="438"></TD> <TD> <TABLE id="Table1" height="437" cellSpacing="3" cellPadding="3" width="730" bgColor="#99ff66" border="1"> <TR> <TD height="187"> <TABLE id="Table2" height="348" cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="2" width="570" border="4"> <tr> <td noWrap align="center" colSpan="4" height="40"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="169" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>O.Sanchez</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </td> </tr> <TR> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV language="javascript" id="DIV3" title="myLabel" onclick="return DIV3_onclick()" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Carmona</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P> Marquez</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Salcedo</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Sanchez</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Pardo</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Zinha</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV id="DIV1" title="myLabel" onclick="return DIV1_onclick()" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Blanco</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Garcia</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148" colSpan="2"> <DIV title="myLabel" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="48" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Blanco</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> <TD noWrap align="center" width="148" colSpan="2"> <DIV id="DIV2" title="myLabel" onclick="return DIV2_onclick()" ms_positioning="FlowLayout"> <TABLE height="19" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="52" border="0" ms_1d_layout="TRUE"> <TR> <TD> <P>Borgetti</P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <tr> </tr> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </body> </html> What do you guys think ?
as opposed to this : ------------------Johnson---------------McBride------------------------ ------Beasley---------Mastroeni-------Reyna--------Donovan------- ------Bocanegra--------Gibbs----------Berhalter---------Cherundolo----- --------------------------------Keller-----------------------------------
Why not just: Johnson -- McBride Beasley -- Mastroeni -- Reyna -- Donovan Bocanegra -- Gibbs -- Berhalter -- Cherundolo Keller Centering is slick!
Yes of course , but wouldnt it be cool to click on a template such as the smiley faces and enter names ? and perhaps even move the names around in the template . Maybe I just need to get some sleep .........
I like the idea of a code for formations. I started this thread to see if it was attainable. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4610111#post4610111
It's obviously a great idea, but we need to find the right way to implement it. A method that requires the user to input the number of defenders, midfielders and attackers would be good. It could then give an option to select the prefered formation variant (having narrowed down the choices due to previous input). It would be annoying as hell to create and implement, but a fun project for someone.
They have something like it on the BBC site Somone would need to get their coding hat on - would be very useful here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/squad_selector/default.stm
