Module talk:Chessboard

Making the icons use position:absolute (i.e. inside a div instead of a table) caused an obscure and probably coincidental css rule for nested elements to give each of them a white background, effectively negating the svg/png transparency, to wit:

div.thumb div a img {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

I tracked this down in Firebug as having originated from the following url:

My edit to this module fixed the problem immediately (see before & after screen-shot taken from Template:Chess diagram/doc) but I'm amazed nobody else had complained about it. If we really do want each chess-piece icon to link to the image page as it did before, we will need some superseding CSS rule to work around this bug. ―cobaltcigs 09:20, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
