Read moreModals & NWN Test
This page was built to test the required code to get the hint modals working on The Harp & Chrysanthemum page. It contains the three modals, which do not display until racked up and down. This has been tested on Firefox and is usable, and on Opera, which behaves oddly, and still requires to be…
