Conquer Club

First off I hate my mouse. I really do. Right now the curser is defaulted to the top left of the page, so to tab to anything useful I have to go through Home, Instructions, Scoreboard, Club Forum, Rules, FAQ / Contract and all the players names and their feedback links before I'm on the drop down menus.

I could look up how to default the cursor to the attack from column if you don't know how. I think you can do it in the html even. If not a short java script could probably do it.

Priority: 3?

cant you just use a mouse and click the buttons?

Yeah why wouldn't you just use the mouse. Seems kinda lazy to me.

Because I shouldn't have to and it only takes one coordinate line (pretty sure) to set a default position for it to something more useful. You know, to make the site slightly more professional.

I'm a programmer, mice are stupid, this site is one of the rare times I touch the darn thing.

And the "Laziest CC'er of the Year" award goes to....

If i read correctly, then you're wanting to create a new tab, in which case, why dont you just CTL T it?

oh!
I misread your post, my mistake.
I agree, why don't you just use your mouse? or if that doesn't work, buy a new one

Edit: Sorry for double post, apparently i hit quote instead of edit

ha ha ha... no.

What I'm wanting to do is not open a new tab in my browser. I want the first drop down box selected when I'm moving so I don't have to tab down to it every time or use my mouse for the first click.

Edit: Sorry I responded to your first post. But your second one is equally annoying to me. I don't want to have to use my mouse unless I have to, and I don't see any good reason not to implement this. The people that use their mouse all the time aren't going to notice any difference.

Write a Greasemonkey script to do this for you. About 5 lines of code, if that.

focus="true" in the html of the "select"...

Easy to do for Lack...

OR

Easily done in a GM script...

Get "attackDropDown" with getElemenyById() (You'll need to research the correct drop down.

call focus(); on it

Job done. <- might not work in conjunction with jump to map on!

So you want Lack to change around his website because you don't want to use your mouse because your a programmer and you shouldn't have too?

Seems like your a little egotistic to me.

Why are people so up in arms against this?
It sounds to me like a really simple change, that'd take all of 5 minutes to do; and would increase functionality for people who:
Do not own a mouse
Find using the keyboard easier (a lot of handicapped people find it impossible to use a mouse, I don't know if you were aware of that)
Have broken/malfunctioning mice

Furthermore, the change would have a grand total of zero impact on all of the other players who do like to use mice (and this includes me).

I agree that this is a really low-priority change for the site; but if Lack could find ten minutes to switch round the default cursor position next time he's updating, then I don't see any reason why not to. I just don't understand why everyone is giving Coleman such a hard time over this...

In summary: Good yet non-urgent idea, which could be easily implemented in the next update (or whenever Lack feels like switching a few lines of code around). Well done Coleman.

Thanks for your time...

I'm sorry if I sounded critical, I was probably too terse. I was just trying to point out that it is easy to do if Coleman wants it fast.

DM, I think people are so up in arms about it is because he is not handi-capped and his mouse is fine. He just wants it to be down so he dont have to tab all over the place to get there.

frankly i think it is a good idea for the reason that you alone stated. not for the reasons he wants it done. So I say well done to you.

I should learn greasemonkey I take it. I didn't know greasemonkey could do that. All I've seen is people using it to add score boards and forums to sites that don't normally have them.

Coleman. Thats the greatest thing about greasmonkey. It works on any web site you want it to. All you gotta do is write a script for it yourself or find one that works for your needs. A good site to check for scripts for GM is Userscripts.

I bet you could ask stocksr to do it for you - he'll know exactly where you'd want it...

Note of course - you'll also want it done in the deploy & fortification drop downs...
