===Cellsize Text size box margin disconnect===
If the cell values in one box, make the box bigger other boxes in the same band or stack, the smaller boxes will have a (slight) margin where the minor inner grid does not connect with the major grid on the right/left or top/bottom respectivley.
Workaround: Increase the cellsize so all rows are of equal length.
This deficiency normally only shows up when a minimal cellsize is used and cells contain demo values like 1..81, which makes box 1 smaller than the others. -- LarryLACa 08:28, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Cellsize Text size box margin disconnect

message: There was/is a related (margin disconnect) problem for the cellsize of empty vs set cells. This is minimized by (now) always having at least an nbsp value in blank cells (when called from 9x9 grid).  The default cellsize was also set to typical font height, so the cells are relatively square.  This will generally accomodate 2 chars/cell before varying box size causes a box margin disconnect.  For wider contents cellsize may need to be increased to prevent disconnect. -- LarryLACa 07:13, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

message: ===Overly complicated===
I strongly feel that this template is overly complicated and, to say the truth, plain ugly. Wikipedia needs an encyclopedic look. Templates where every parameter, such as all the colors, box sizes, grid widths and whatnots look different each time they are used look amateurish. Have you looked at the Template:Chess diagram? It's a perfect example of a game position template. For example, you don't need to name those squares like "s37=4", when you could just enter "4". I created an image-based sudoku at [ my sandbox], it could be easily turned into a template. What do you think? --ZeroOne 02:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

It does not display properly in Firefox 1.5, either (I specifically have 1.5.0.1 on WinXP.) — CJewell (talk to me) 18:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
