The subroutine which controls the page where the records are displayed is html_view_success. If you edit that subroutine, the record display would be affected.

I have written a "user-friendly" html.pl file that you can pick up at http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/Mods/html_pl.txt . There's also a short/long display version at. It wouldn't be too hard to switch from one to the other.

The "user-friendly" file has separate subroutines for the "top" and "bottom" of the pages which you only need to edit once. There are instructions for working with it, both in the file and in the tutorial on my site.

You like "StatSort," huh? [smile] I first used "PlayerSort," but it's really the statistics that are being sorted.

Carol,

A bit of an HTML format problem! I'm totally stumped...

Check out this URL:

http://www.warningtrack.net/...yers&uid=default

As you'll notice the edge of everything is "stuck" in the background...I tried adding the blockquote tag in there, but it doesn't do anything! You can view the source of the page there and see for yourself.

Any idea whats wrong?

I don't know what that means. What do you want?

Carol,

Well as you'll see by entering the DB as a default user above, I use a background image...the text, however, is too far to the left, and is displayed over the background image...which as you'll notice as soon as the page loads, looks rather odd!

I was just wondering if HTML code works the exact same way within the subroutines? I used an html tag ("blockquote") to indent the test/tables, so that it would be aligned properly so it can be read correctly...but for some reason it didn't work...I have on idea why.

Using Netscape with 840 x 600 resolution, it looks just fine. I just checked it with IE and I see the problem.

If you want to get around the problem with left banners, the thing to do is to use a transparent .gif file as a spacer.

At the end of your menu which is in the border, add an image source to your spacer, and set the width to the same width as your border.

For example, on my site, my spacer is called "friends.gif" (for a rather odd reason). The tag I use for it is


because my border is 90 pixels wide.

If you need the graphic, go to http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/links/Credits/ and scroll down until you see a little blue-green square. (It's in the section about "CGI by Cliff.") Right click on the square and select "Save graphic as..." or "Save picture as..." depending on which browser you're using.

That's what I use in all of my pages that use a left-border background.
