Title: Autocard
Post by: Spriggan on September 15, 2002, 10:45:16 PM
Hey Fell I found out your problem with the autocard wizard. ;D
www.snorbert.com/VG/magic.html

umm the problem was pretty simple one but easy to make if you haven't done much with Java script.

this code:
<script language="Javascript"> function WizardsAutoCard (cardname) {   windowName = "WotCWindow";  params = "toolbar=0, location=0, directories=0, status=0,   menubar=0, scrollbars=0, resizable=0, width=450, height=400";  win = window.open("http://www.wizards.com/magic/autocard.asp?name="+cardname,    windowName, params); }</script>
needs to go right AFTER the <html> tag, wich is the fist tage in an html page.

I spent a little time thinking about that accessibility issue for MTG articles today, and also about the evil little Autocard function they put in, that, while incredibly useful, is just too much of a pain to add to every article when you're not getting paid for it.

Maybe I could jazz up a little application that would take a text file and add the Autocard text in for you. Searching a huge database for an expanding number of cardnames is probably out of the question, but if, for instance, you could tell it to modify a .txt for a particular phrase and have it Autocard the entire thing, that would be cool. Unfortunately, my last several attempts to get Java working on my computer have all gone bunk, but at the same time, I've been thinking about getting a new one anyway. Maybe maybe.
