I looked at say
http://www.freisco.com/res/details01c.asp?id=9136 (0r 9021)
The table layout you are using seems fine
(except for users w/ monitors and screens set to < 1024 w)
It has no relationship to an "Access" type form look
- not sure what your problem
You are really asking for a Table layout tool, not a form layout tool
W/ the design view you can see or change cell properties and alignments
- don't work in a layout w/ your db ASP code, instead work your layout in a page w/ actual data 1st (then convert the values to db
fields)
- makes sure you include 2 spaces for empty cells or fields w/o results to prevent table cell collapse
- apply your fonts using style sheets instead of html formatting
IMHO
consider stacking the left table cell (w/ pic and summary) as a table over the 654 px table (w/ the MLS details) so the page is not
wider that say 750 px
| Hello again. Yes Michiel, you are correct.
| I was/am hoping to find a product that will let me place the page
| elements wherever my mouse drops them. At the moment, I am using Tables
| in FP2000; but my problem lies in formatting columns of different
| lengths and widths alongside each other.
| To boil it down, does anyone know how I could design a form in Access
| and have it be used on the web as a static report?
| If you want to see what I am goofing with, please go to my website at
|
www.countyrealty.com and search for residential homes (left margin, near
| top) and use the login of "steve" and pwd of "please" with no quotes.
| Search for all homes priced within a range you select. When the roster
| pops up, select a home (link) with a picture. This will invoke the
| "....details.asp....." page. When this page paints, change the
| "details" in the url to details01c.asp and leave the rest of the url
| alone. (site redesigning/under construction)
| This is the page I want to jockey images, text, and other elements with
| the goal of a "tighter" page. I can accomplish this easily with Access
| form and report design tools, but I am having a time with FrontPage 2000.
| Any creative suggestions and/or insights welcomed.
