Forms and Tables

[Richard]

Hi:

I have two issues:

1. When I create a form for mailing, it does not work in
terms of being mailed to whoever I set it to. The web
server does have the frontpage extentions on it. My
website provider has been able to "fix" this issue by
changing parts of the form. Here is what he sent me in an
effort to explain what was wrong:

"The form you created had some bad code in it at line 201
there was a bad xhtml markup in it and and extra head tag
at line 204. I also made some changes in the form tag on
line 216. I have uploaded the changed sample form as
http://www.lockednloaded.net/recruit_test_form1.htm
download it and compare the lines with your old form to
see the differences."

When I did the suggested comparison by viewing the forms
in the frontpage html view, I was unable to see any of the
changes he referred to.

Any ideas as to what is happening here?

2. My second question has to do with tables. Every timem
I set up a table, the font defaults to something I dont
want. I have to change it each time I reopen the table.
Again, what can I do to end this frustration?

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

1. It sounds like you copied and pasted a form from a Word or other non-HTML
document. To avoid similar problems in the future, use FrontPage to create
your forms.

2. The font you're seeing is the default font that is used by browsers
(Times New Roman). It looks like that because it has no font tags or other
formatting tags. If you don't want to have to apply font attributes every
time, try using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). CSS will enable you to specify
either a style for all of a certain type of HTML element, such as a table or
table cell, and apply that style to all instances of it in the page, or a
class name for, for example, a table or table cell. Then every HTML element
with that class name will have that style automatically.

The e-mail address used by the form
needs to be one associated with the domain.
example: (e-mail address removed)

As for the font issue, either set a default font
for your pages so it will apply to everything
on the page, or define the font in a style sheet
applied across the web.

With regard to the table, I do note that I have a css
document. What part of that would I edit to change the
table behaviour?

Thanks for your assistance.

Well, Richard, I'm afraid I can't tell you. What I CAN do is to point you to
a site that teaches you everything you need to know about CSS:
