Still having problems
Ad JP Deni's help site suggested I made the following available for you to see.

http://www.fancyfelines.net/html_pl.txt

http://www.fancyfelines.net/default_cfg.txt

I am having difficulty adding and modifying players. When I view them I see no text information other than the field names.

http://fancyfelines.net/...w_records=1&Name=*

I don't know whether I've set the font color the same as the background color.. or what I did lol.

Help?! *flutters blonde eyelashes*



oh.. and I'd also like to see a user login on the main page. How else will folks log in to update/modify their accounts?

You may need to reset the $font variable to use a color also if you are usng a table background color. I've never seen in any HTML syntax that using a BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC" within a table tag is valid coding :)

Try changing the coding in your html_record:

<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>Name:</FONT></TD>
<TD WIDTH="80%">&nbsp;<$font>$rec{'Name'}</Font></TD></TR>

to:

<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>Name:</FONT></TD>
<TD WIDTH="80%">&nbsp;<$font_color>$rec{'Name'}</Font></TD></TR>

I would also place all your font preferences in your .cfg file so that you can easily make changes in just one file and prevent conflicts with the .cfg file and html.pl file settings.

You can add the option to login to your sub html_footer:

print qq!| <A HREF="db.cgi?db=default">Login</A> !;

To have the database default to the login page use the link:

Hope this helps
