There doesn't seem to be a HTML-specific help forum so this will do. Without getting too verbose:

Take a look at Leare's stats. I actually had to hardcode a fake stats div (with exactly the same information as the true stats) all because CSS doesn't allow selection of . (Oh, my kingdom for the day that's possible...there are a lot of stupid hacks I'll be able to drop for good.)

However, with the current setup I'll have to manually update the div every time any stat changes. It's not a lot of work, but I'd rather just draw the content from the real stats (which I have set to display:none) because I don't like the idea that I might forget (or possibly not even be online? I don't know how stats work) when stats change. Reporting false stats seems to be against the rules and I don't want to fall afoul of them due to CSS's limitations.

Oh whoops that got too verbose.

TL;DR: I want to reference the text strings inside the stats div and display them elsewhere on the pet's page.

There are actually two forums that are useful for HTML questions, Profiles & Graphics Discussion and Web Design. The latter is more general, so if you want something Subeta-specific, it's better to look in the former. ^_^

As for stats, the thing you want to do is put the words over the bars if I understand you, is that correct? The original coding has quite a few options in it - as far as ids and classes are concerned - as shown below.

• Level: 112
   
• Strength: 250
   
• Defense: 245
   
• Speed: 245
   
• Health: 265
   
• HP: 265/265
   
• Intelligence: 109
   
• Books Read: 103
• Food Eaten: 24
• Job: Part-Time Test Subject

I feel like there might be a way to code it in without having to change the number each time, but I'm super exhausted atm and don't have the brain energy to play around with it. I'll try to come back tomorrow and help out. Or hopefully someone else will know a trick. And if not - maybe there's something in the Profiles & Graphics forum that will give you a clue. :)

P.S. I kinda feel like there might be something that could be done with negative margins/padding to squish it altogether, but I'm not sure.

[Edit]

Also, the whole thing can be moved by modifying either column_3 or pet_stats to be position: absolute and then specifying top and left coordinates.

Thank you, that's very helpful! And yes, all I want is for the text to appear on top of the bars themselves. Ideally this could be achieved by just giving the text a higher z-index than the bar itself, but you can't target and the text isn't in a unique div so I had to resort to recoding the entire thing.

I'll see if anyone in the profile and graphics forum (which I thought was an art forum, whoops) has any ideas. I'm sure I can't be the first user who's wanted to do this.
