Game Notepad - a floating game notepad by dwilhelmi

as suggested in http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=530&t=108831

What does it do?
Gives a floating notepad for writing notes to yourself about a game. It is independent of the main chat, so as to neither clutter up your friendly banter nor lose track of your strategies. Hidden by default, so as to not unnecessarily distract you. Works in both firefox and chrome.

Where do I get it?
Install the greasemonkey script from here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/92305

Changes in version 1.0.1:
- Updated version in menu header to link to the new forum post
- Changed the Update notification to work with Chrome

• Resize the window by clicking and dragging the bottom-right corner
• Reposition the window by clicking and dragging the header bar

Thanks! Glad it is working for you. If you can think of any improvements, just let me know.

I think you can merge it into chatglove because having 5-6 menus on the left side is a hard thing. plus code-duplication and they are from the similar field (working with chat).

What do you think?

In theory, great, but I don't think it would quite work without a lot of rewriting of chatglove. I wrote everything here using JQuery, while chatglove does not use JQuery. So, for example, methods accept JQuery objects as parameters in one, and not in the other.

I may eventually rework chatglove some, and might merge them at that time.

noticed something today with this...if you click "load entire chat", the "show notepad" link disappears. Once you refresh the page, it comes back, just like the "load entire chat" link.
