Re: [DL] web-based character sheet ready

I'm replying on-list to seek help on the tab matter and to alert anyone else
who's encountered these things that they've been fixed.

Well?  Anyone know how to set this?  Is there a tabindex attribute or
something like that?

O.K., I found the problems here and fixed them all (at least I THINK I did),
including one I noticed myself with Professional.

Well, you'll just have to find a way to abbreviate it.  Either that or you
could just leave it blank and write on the printout manually.  I've limited
the number of characters now.  The reason it did that was that for this I
basically just used a ****load of layers, and "Colt Peacemaker" just
happened to be longer than that layer is wide.  I limited the length because
I don't want it running into the entry for Shots.

O.K., this is fixed.  Has anyone else noticed anything wrong?
