Comic Text extension fixes Chrome's short-lived mouseover popups on xkcd
- brianwillis 16y agoA grateful nation thanks you.
- millz 16y agoYou're quite welcome! I hope I've made everyone's day just a little bit easier.
- alt 16y agohttp://m.xkcd.com/ http://m.xkcd.com/ will show the alt text right below the image. It's easier on my eyes.
- rudd 16y agoI can't seem to get it to work in Google Reader. I get no mouseover text at all, neither the Comic Text version nor the default Chrome version. Am I doing something wrong?
- millz 16y agoHmm... I see the same issue. Let me see if I can figure out what the problem is.
- millz 16y agoAha! It was a z-index issue. I'm publishing the fix now.
- millz 16y agoOk, the fix has been published in version 1.0.1. However, after you update you'll have to go into the options and "Reset to default CSS", then save, before it will work.
- Sephr 16y agoThat's not a problem with Chrome, it's a problem with Windows. Tooltips on Chrome in Ubuntu last indefinitely until you move your cursor out of the element.
- amurmann 16y agoIt's a problem under OS X as well
- cstuder 16y agoFunny sidenote: The Reeder app for iPad and iPhone implemented alt-text viewing because of the XKCD site.
