More Tablet-friendly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just a few things I'd like:

Instead of pop-ups with the power description, have the tooltips load as text 
between the power-sets and the listed powers. It would make it a hell of a lot 
easier for use on tablets.

Have links to the power's wiki page in the CO wiki.

Clear/Cancel as buttons. I would like a nice [X] button in the upper-right on 
the box, to the right of the power-sets. And then maybe have clear appear as 
either the first or last power with an X icon. This would make the interface 
less confusing.

This might be out of scope, but it would be *really* cool if you used a url 
shortener for your save function:

-api/
Not only would it help people share their builds, it would also actually count 
as saving it in the cloud.

Thanks for making this awesome tool! I used it to plan my last retcon and my 
character is a helluva lot better!

Don't count on any URL shortener for permanent URLs (which is what saves are), 
not even Google's. Shortened URLs do not have a long life span, if they did 
then the shortened URLs would get longer as more people used the service.

Google's claim that the URLs won't expire is not as strong as it sounds; in 
fact, they reserve the right to expire URLs with no explanation.

Sorry for the late response.  I was expecting an email from Google when anyone 
submitted an issue, but I didn't have it setup correctly.

I would like to have different CSS/workflow for tablets and mobile usage, but I 
have done very little in that regard.  For now, please turn off the pop-ups via 
the preferences option if they are in the way.

Links to cowiki would be nice.

A nice X in the upper corner would be more standard I agree.  I also like your 
clear power idea.

As for the URL shortener, in addition to morrimichael's comment, I don't like 
the idea of relying on another site's service/api if I don't have to.  Also, 
most people are one click away to shortening a URL in their browser via their 
shortener of choice.  I guess I'm leaning towards out of scope for now.

Thank you for your suggestions.

It's a little more tablet friendly with the ability to see the pop-up data w/o 
using pop-ups.
