De Draconeque Regnoque

The name system as described in the articles works great, but I was a bit put off by the amount of on-page coding required to display a name, so I made my own version that moves some of the scripting client-side. I just want to know if it actually works for everyone, so if you're getting a string of numbers rather than letters, please let me know.

It doesn't show up as letters until you have more than 3. Before that, it's weird symbols. After that it seems to work for me.

edit: sorry, using safari.

Same in IE. Pretty clean looking.

Depends what letter I type:

 four dots in a square; a series of tildes; m7m7; 99

I'm glad I asked, because I never would have noticed the problem otherwise. It seems that at one or two letters, the name code looks like a telephone number to Safari, so it makes the whole thing a link that ends up throwing off the parser. I switched from innerHTML to textContent, which should solve the problem.

Bananas. Excaliber.? Matriarch Band.

Damn you seth!

He he he he ....

Looks great

Dang.....that's a cool name creator! Before you fixed it, I also got four dots in a square form.

I MUST know how this works...

Working on Safari, m8. 

Wow, that name system is amazing, if you don't mind, how do you make that. I wanted to make a story where the player chooses who they are, just like in your story's intro. It would be a great help if it's possible. Thanks.

A lot like choice of the dragon, but if I could suggest a few things...

The "actual" ears thing gives people a false impression that the ears belong to a dog / human.  If some clarification could be given on appearance, that wouldn't put a weird image in a reader's head.

Curious that there isn't a WHITE scale color.

Would two different background events be better than the idiosyncracies?  Not sure, but if we instead have something like "fight with sister primarily, and stay in and read secondarily", would that function better?  Or what if they're both added?

And...

...me gusta that keyboard.

It worked fine...

And it's amazing! How did you make the letter thing? With a butt load of scripting?

In short, yes. The keyboard is an HTML form with a bunch of buttons arranged into a QWERTY layout that replace the standard links.

I tried it. I loved it. I must know how this works. However, I won't pester. I'll attempt to figure it out myself first. Then I'll pester ^w^
