How do I change the font size for one field? Have searched the forums with no luck.

Use the following in sub html_record:

Like this?
<TD WIDTH="80%">&nbsp;<$font><font size=1>$rec{'Description'}</Font></font></TD></TR>

You're using my "user-friendly" html.pl file. :-)

In that case, I would add the following to the HTML Globals section of the file:



Then, where you want to use it, use <$fontbig> instead of <$font>.

Yes I am and it's a big help. I'll try this change.

Not seeing any change.

I'll have to get back to you. It's in the middle of the night where I am and I'm about ready to go to bed. :-)

It's about 1 here. You know how it is when you get working on something. Thank you.

Yes, I do understand about getting into something and not wanting to quit. :-)

The first thing I would do is to make sure that the font size thing is having an effect at all. Just as a test, change the size in the $font variable. Make it a major change so you can be sure that you see it. Something like



Don't worry. You're not going to keep it like that. :-)

You know.... another thing you can do is something like




You have less control over the size, but it works. If you want this field to be smaller than the rest, use <SMALL>. You can even use two of them to make still bigger or smaller text:

Code:

<BIG><BIG> ... </BIG></BIG>
<SMALL><SMALL> ... </SMALL></SMALL>

The "small" doesn't seem to make as much of a difference as the "big" does, though.

Thank you. Would I do the same thing for bold or a different color?

All of a sudden, my records don't view properly. Starting with record 2, all data has moved up one field. The database itself hasn't changed, only the view.

Yes.

As for your other problem, you need to go back to see what you've changed. The formatting that I've given you wouldn't change anything as far as the records themselves go.

Your right. I added another field. When I remove it from default.cfg the problem is fixed. Need that additional field.

Adding a field is a bit of a pain in DBMan.

You'l need to
--add the field in the .cfg file
--open your .db file and add a delimiter (if you haven't changed it from the default, it's the | character) to the end of all the existing records (Or you can start over with a blank .db file)
--add input fields to sub html_record_form and display to sub html_record

Thank you for the tip on the delimiter in the db file. I'm sure I'll post more questions as I set this up.

If you can look at this sample record, http://www.invisiongrafix.com/...=1&Catb=Vacation you'll notice that the first work in the description field looks like it is indented at least one space. Can this be fixed?

I see this is on every field.

Found it. Sorry.
