Change Description field. (12th Apr 09 at 12:10pm UTC) Resolved
I would love a code to change the word 'Description' to be something else or even a drop down. An RPG I am working on allows time jumps and I would like to use the description field to be the time the thread is taking place in. A dropdown seems to be a lot consisting of years 1925 to 2080; but, I think it would just be easier to just change the word. Any codes around to do this? I would use a switch-it, but what if somebody posts the word description? Etc, and I wouldn't like it to interfere. I'd love it to be able to work with the new posting system. (Cannot wait for it to be rolled out!)

This won't work with the new system (I'll yell at Ross for removing the ID ), but this should work for the current one: Code: Select All <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- /* Change "Description" / var newName = "Time Frame:"; if(location.href.match(/action\/post/)) { document.getElementById("description_title").firstChild.firstChild.innerHTML = newName; } //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- / Change "Description" */ var newName = "Time Frame:"; if(location.href.match(/action\/post/)) { document.getElementById("description_title").firstChild.firstChild.innerHTML = newName; } //--> </script> Global Footer

Why not get by name & do parentNode then?

<script><!-- /* Change "Description" */ var newName = "Time Frame:"; if(location.href.match(/action\/post/)){ document.getElementById("description_title").innerHTML = newName; } // --></script>

I don't know. It just appeared when I press post. And when I press edit it is blank.
