This is a little tool provided by Wowhead to calculate stats for Blizzard's World of Warcraft.

-------------------------------------------------------

Link to this build - Provides a link to a new page with the current talent
setup already there! Useful (and intended) for showing friends a talent build.
In order to properly link to a build on the talent calculator page, please follow
these steps:

• Make the build you'd like to link to.
• Right-click the "Link to this build" link.
• Select "Copy Shortcut" if you're using Internet Explorer, or "Copy Link Location" within Firefox.
• To paste the URL, right-click and select "Paste."

Alternatively, you can left-click the "Link to this build" link and copy/paste the
URL from your browser's address bar.

Summary - Opens up a new page with a textual representation of your chosen talents. Nice if you want to paste the talents you've chosen somewhere, and would prefer it written out over just throwing links around.

Printable version - Opens up a new page that provides a textual representation of
your chosen talents. This differs from 'Summary' in that it tells exactly what the
talents do, the required level, and the actual build (7/23/21, for example).

Import from Blizzard's calculator - Provides a pop-up text window where you can
type in (or paste, that'd probably be easier) the URL of a talent build made with
Blizzard's calculator, to get converted to our much cooler format.

@ BioVader - nice
It would be easy to do a popup w/ the menu

Ideas
- Take that image in photoshop and cut out each image (make a link per image) and place the images in a block.
- Image map links onto that image and place it in a block or even a simple line of text links w/ little arrow bullet images.
- Make a vBdrop down menu like the breadcrumb menu.

I was looking @ the menu its is only a 20x196 jpg image strip with tables and rows.

<table id="mtwtcMenu3" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" onmouseover="mtwtc.MenuOver()" onmouseout="mtwtc.MenuOut()">
             <tr><td style="padding-left: 2px"><div><b>Choose a class:</b></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td style="background: #232323; height:3px"></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(0)">Druid</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(1)">Hunter</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(2)">Mage</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(3)">Paladin</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(4)">Priest</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(5)">Rogue</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(6)">Shaman</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(7)">Warlock</a></div></td></tr>
             <tr><td><div><a href="javascript:;" onmouseup="mtwtc.ChooseClass(8)">Warrior</a></div></td></tr>
            </table>

Did You Know ?

mt_class (optional) If you have this variable set to a number, the calculator will be pre-set to show the talents for the corresponding class. If you don't have this variable in your script, then there will initially be a menu that lets the user choose which class to go with.

1 = Druid, 2 = Hunter, 3 = Mage, 4 = Paladin, 5 = Priest, 6 = Rogue, 7 = Shaman, 8 = Warlock, 9 = Warrior

<script>
var mt_width = 500;
var mt_class = 1;
var mt_css = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forums/style.css';
</script>

If you remove the line of code the Dropdown will be default page load vs. only 1 class.

Thanks!

Hmm, I think this is now out of date due to the new patch. I don't suppose anyone knows if they plan to update it? Still seems to link to the Patch 2.0.1 (12/05/2006) version for me.

[Caerydd]

I'd be interested in a 3.6.8 version of this Very nice idea.

[Caerydd]

Does not work any more, I think wowhead removed the api.

[Zachariah]

ya I think they did.
- any idea if they have another version ?

According to an email I received from wowhead, the embedded talent calculator has been totally removed as it was too difficult to keep updated and "was used by very few sites" but "we have been looking at reimplementing the capability in a new way."
