If you are a regular reader at this blog, you will know we discuss the CSS styling idea of โฆ
โฆ but there is essentially only the difference in the control of โz-indexโ (and maybe โopacityโ) property different about the concepts, and to deploy to improve on for the start we made with yesterdayโs Word Find Game Primer Tutorial.
โUnderlayโ usefulness, to us, goes like this โฆ
- what you โunderlayโ โฆ for us within the new CSS styling โฆ
<style>
textarea {
font-family: Courier New;
font-size: 20px;
opacity: 0.9;
z-index: 9;
padding: 0 0 0 0;

โฆ regimen โฆ - has nothing to do with interactive entry, which should be more in your โoverlayโ thinking, else the user is stumped โฆ but โฆ
- can help with dynamically enhanced markup jobs that value add to the aesthetics of the webpage
โฆ specifically showing the user โwhere theyโve beenโ amongst the โsea of lettersโ of ourchanged word_find_gamehtml Word Find Game you can also try below.
Previous relevant Word Find Game Primer Tutorial is shown below.
Todayโs โWord Find Gameโ gets its inspirations from two sources โฆ
- remembering those word find games you might find in the Sunday newspapers โฆ and as a coding basis โฆ
- textarea and Selection API user interface you can prepare for by reading yesterdayโs Selection API and Clipboard API Tutorial
Today we just do the โproof of conceptโ first draft word_find_gamehtml, because the Selection API highlighting really suits โฆ
- horizontal forwards
- horizontal backwards
โฆ word finding in thegame, but we also want to allow for โฆ
- vertical down
- vertical up
- diagonal right down
- diagonal right up
- diagonal left down
- diagonal left up
โฆ which can be handled, but in a pretty kludgy way โฆ
