/* * Un-cap by feeding the cap rule, not by fighting it. It reads * `display: var(--bb-rowcap-row-display, none)` at * bodybuilding.css:23934 and the rows inherit what is set here on * the TABLE, so it keeps winning and just resolves to a visible * value. Restoring `display` on the rows themselves lost: the cap is * (0,4,2) with its :nth-child, a row restore is (0,3,2), and no * source order rescues that. Out-specifying it means another * compound selector or an !important, which is the arms race this * stylesheet is on record for. * * Three values because a row here is not always a table-row. * .bb-table--responsive stacks each row into a card at <=768px * (display:block) and .bb-table--compact-card lays that card out as * flex, so one table-row for every case would flatten both back into * an unreadable overflowing grid. */ .bb-app .bb-rowcap.is-capped { --bb-rowcap-row-display: table-row; } @media (max-width: 768px) { .bb-app .bb-rowcap.is-capped.bb-table--responsive { --bb-rowcap-row-display: block; } .bb-app .bb-rowcap.is-capped.bb-table--compact-card { --bb-rowcap-row-display: flex; } } /* * Hide the control JavaScript drives, and only that one: with no * JavaScript there is nothing to toggle and the button sits dead * under a table that is already complete. Keyed on the attribute * because .bb-rowcap__btn is worn by the link mode above too, and * those tables were SLICED by the server - their rows are not in the * DOM, so the link is the only path to them. Hiding by class hid all * eleven controls on road-to-olympia, one button and ten links. */ .bb-app [data-bb-rowcap-btn] { display: none; }
