[Plugin: Visitor Maps and Who's Online] Minor Code Tweak to Facilitate CSS

Hi Mike,

One of the themes I use does not display the widget statistics the way I’d like. It wasn’t indenting the stats at all, which didn’t look right. It’s a quirk of the theme, which has the same problem with some other widgets, too.

I figured out how to fix this with CSS, but I ran into some limitations related to the use of <br /> to start a new line. It turns out to be better, from a CSS standpoint, to use </p><p> instead of <br /> to start a new line. That way, CSS has something to grab onto for each line if you want to control the indentation.

I edited my copy of the plugin to replace <br /> with </p><p> everywhere in the function

visitor_maps_widget_content()

I was then able to use this CSS to indent the stats:

#visitor-maps p:before {content: "   ";}

Those are hard spaces inside the quotes. Ordinary spaces won’t work.

Would you consider making this tiny code tweak in a future release of the plugin? That would be a big help to people who want to use CSS to style the output of the plugin.

Thank you,

Fred Chapman
