Sup, playing around with tables right now and it is pretty late. On another RP-Site, that crashed and became bad with its reboot everything was lost, including the code I had for mah pwetty table. Basically I had a single table with 2 columns and 2 rows (I think) including with a spoilertag that allowed automatic adjustment and you could have one spoiler open and the other closed without any problems. I did however save a revision of the site on my computer and thus I have a few screenshots to example better what I want to achieve, so here it goes:

There, the table, the left "spoiler" is open the other one is closed.

Now both closed, the table is small and compact!

Both tables opened, still pretty looking(At least I think so :<)

So, anyone can give me advice how to achieve it here? I would already be glad knowing about auto-adjustment and invisible borders :3.

C/p-able;

[table="border: 0px;"][tr][td="border: 0px;"]text[/td][td="border: 0px;"]text[/td][/tr][/table]

As for spoilers, you have two options. A small one without title;
[spoili]stuff[/spoili]
[spoili]stuff[/spoili]

Or a bigger one with title;

stuff
[spoiler=stuff]stuff[/spoiler]

The issue is, I don't know how to lock a cell's width on here. So the size of the table will differ between the folded and unfolded versions.

EDIT: An interesting alternative might be tabs. They look like this;

  • stuff
  • stuff


And are made like this;

[tabs][tab=1]stuff[/tab][tab=2]stuff[/tab][/tabs]

Oooohhh, in quotation marks! Duh, isn't that more of a HTML thingy though? And I already know of tabs (and fieldsets) but thanks for the good will anyways. Funny tho that you answered, because when I told myself "Gah fuck this." I actually was thinking of asking Xalty/Xaltwind cuz I knew he has contact to you and I know you have knowledge in that, but he was already asleep at that point :P. So yeah, thanks a lot!
 
Yeah, well html basically does it like <td width="50%"> (or pixels but screen size and shit) but that doesn't really work here.
