Trouble with Headers

Well I must say that this is a simple trouble if I think in all the things I still need to do (make classes for my game for instance).

Well I finally finish successfully the Skill tab, at least at my taste.

But I can't "put" the headers in each of the columns.

Here is my code (template only):

Code: 
<template
    id="skSklPick"
    name="Skill Pick"
    compset="Skill">

    <portal
      id="name"
      style="lblNormal"

        field="name">
        </label>
      </portal>

    <portal
      id="value"
      style="lblXLarge">

Don't find the error. The game compiles fine, the tab do not show the headers not even "over" another text.

Thanks and I will keep working all I can.
 
Thanks Mathias problem solve.

Now I have issues with the "race info" portal.

I only display the "info" if the race is selected but only shows 7 lines of text instead of all the info.

I try to change the height of the portal (portal[raInfoTbl].height = 100) but nothing changes.

this is the code:

Code: 
<!-- raRaceInfo template
        Displays info for the current race in a large template area.
  -->
  <template
    id="raRaceInfo"
    name="Trait Pick"
    compset="Trait">

    <portal
      id="details"
      style="lblNormal">
      <label
        ismultiline="yes">
        <labeltext><![CDATA[
          var descript as string
          var nodescript as number
          nodescript = 1
          call Descript
          @text = "{align left}" & descript
          ]]></labeltext>
        </label>
      </portal>

    <position><![CDATA[
      ~set up our height based on our tallest portal
      portal[details].width = width
      height = portal[details].textheight
      ]]></position>

    </template>
	
	

    <layout
    id="race">
	<portalref portal="raTitle"/>
    <portalref portal="chRace" taborder="10"/>
    <portalref portal="Horizontal"/>
	<portalref portal="raInfoTbl"/>
	
    <position><![CDATA[
      ~position and size the tables to span the full layout
      portal[raTitle].top = 20
	  portal[raTitle].left = 20
	  portal[chRace].top = 20
	  portal[chRace].width = width / 2
      portal[chRace].left = portal[raTitle].width + 30
      portal[chRace].height = 20

	  
	 ~set the separator width and position it beneath the attributes
      portal[Horizontal].width = portal[raTitle].width + portal[chRace].width - 10
      portal[Horizontal].top = portal[chRace].bottom + 15
      portal[Horizontal].left = portal[raTitle].left + 20
	  
	  if (hero.tagis[Race.?] = 0) then
		portal[raInfoTbl].visible = 0
	  endif
	  
	  portal[raInfoTbl].left = portal[Horizontal].left
      portal[raInfoTbl].width = width - (portal[raInfoTbl].left * 2)
      portal[raInfoTbl].top = portal[Horizontal].bottom + 20
      ~portal[raInfoTbl].height = height - portal[raInfoTbl].top
		
	  
	  ]]></position>
	 	  
    </layout>

Other issue that can't figure it out is the "Icon mouseover text".

I know how to do it with an info icon but in the d20 class panel, for each class, they show different icons:
attack saves spells and special

When you "moseover" on the icon a text appears (like info) moreover in each case the texts corresponding to your class level is in bold other text is gray.

Maybe this is more advanced than the things I'm doing and I still need a lot of traits to the game: Saves for example but all the help will be appreciated.

Thanks again
Roy

By the way the wikipage you linked to me is empty.

I see you have the line that sets the height of portal[raInfoTbl] commented out - unless you tell HL to give that table lots of height, you'll only get the default height for your display.
 
I have a new layout (from the 4e tab race) and with that line not commented, still only 8 lines in description.

Thanks
