Pedigree mockups
I’ve created the Pedigree Sandbox page as a testbed for various pedigree ideas. Right now it’s just a simple table-based layout for two and three generations, at various sizes. And the code for the two-generation one is at the bottom (you can view source for the rest, though there’s not much different about it).
Here’s a two-generation layout:
And three-generation:
A little bit later today I’ll post about what I think of pedigrees (and some alternatives), which will explain the abbreviated form of the dates.

Playing around with it a bit, I found that removing the border-collapse table attribute makes it display properly in Safari and Firefox still seems to work, AFAICT. It will probably mess up IE, as that’s how things go in the world of CSS :).
I would definitely report it to the Safari team. If it’s not a bug, it’s a least a good test-case for border-collapse for them to consider the differences with Firefox and IE.
Thanks. And yes, it makes empty cells not show up in IE (like the husband of ____ Harwell, for example). At the moment I think I prefer the non-border-collapse version, because it’s not as visually jarring as the extra lines Safari throws in.
