Country flag tooltip

Since my geography s*cks and my knowledge of flags is even worse, would be nice if I could hold the mouse over a flag and get the country name. I know I can click on it an get a list but , well, I'm lazy 🙂

Agree.
To hoover the mouse pointer over the flag should generate the country information.
Also:
To hoover the mouse pointer over a member name should generate the his rating.

If you're using Firefox and have the Greasemonkey addon, there is a Greasemonkey script to add a country tool tip. You can find it at:

If you grab the RHP addon from there, it will add player ratings and flag next to the player's nick in forum posts.

Me? Using FireFox? No way.
A lot of problems here stem from FireFox, almost never from Internet Explorer.

I would like Russ et al to use a standard solution, easily done with standard HTML tags, so everyone can take part of this improvement, without having to install FireFox into their computers. I don't like to be forced to use particular programs rather than the standard ones. RHP is for everyone.

You probably do a great job, ouroboros, no personal harm intended. If only the same job could be done for us IE users as well, I'll be happy.

You'll notice that I replied to the original post. If SPDChess is using Firefox and Greasemonkey, he/she has a way to get the additional information requested.

RHP is currently usable on many different browsers already. You are not forced to use Firefox. In fact, if you are inclined, there is a Greasemonkey clone for IE kicking around somewhere. You are free to take my scripts and convert them for use with IE.

It's not a Greasemonkey script. It's the RHP addon. You can grab the latest stable release from:

See Thread 61652.

Me neither. Your scripts work like a charm too. 🙂

You don't mind being forced to use IE though?

The .xpi file that you download is simply a zip file. You can right-click, save as, and unzip it. All of the source will be available.

Thanks ouroboros

Don't have greasemonkey but will check it out and the addon

It's he BTW - Steve 🙂

Palynka: "What problems here stem from Firefox?"
I won't go further into this line than this: When I see people having problems, they are adviced to use methods that has nothing to do with IE. Therefore I conclude the problem must be FF oriented.

ouroboros: "You are free to take my scripts and convert them for use with IE."
Thank you, but I don't know how I could do this from my end. Therefore I would like to put the appropriate tags into the original html code.
And I say again - you are doing a fantastic job, ouroboros, I would like to take part of the result also, but with IE and not FF. And this only Russ et al can do.

Dr Strangelove: "You don't mind being forced to use IE though?"
No, of course not. IE comes with Windows itself. Had FF came with the Windows, I would of course used it. But why have two browser when one is enough? How many Word processors have you installed in your computer? I have one - MS Word.

Now, this is my opinion: If I installed every program in my computer only because my friends have it, my computer will be full of programs and problems. I install what I need and nothing more. I use one car for every car trip. I use one bread toaster for every bread I toast. I use *** for every *** I ***. And I use one browser for anything I browse. I don't have one browser to read my daily news in, one to read the latest jokes, one to play chess with, one to read *** with. I use one browser because I only need one, just one, and that is IE. Period.

And thanks for this I have very few problems with my browser, with my Windows and with my computer. When I see friends who install everything the can lay their hands on, and see how many problems they have - I am glad that I use as few programs as possible. Them that I have to use and not much more.

Please, don't harass me because I have a different view of things that you have. I know my view is shared with others and is sound. You have your choice, I respect that. Let me have mine.

If you still don't understand what I'm trying to tell - please read my postings in this subject on more time.
