Field format on list page

ASPRunnerPro General questions
bnphillips author
  1. Text fields on the list page that contain spaces or dashes are wrapping to the next line. Example: on field "fullname" input name is Bob Lastname. Here the Lastname wraps to the next line. Also on phone numbers that contain dashes 412-571-2500 are wrapping to the next line (in fact it wraps on every "-" (dash). Where am I erroring in setting up column sizes or am I using illegal characters?
  2. Am I correct in assuming when I set up a col size... when I put in "10" it means ten characters?
  3. When I have made a formatteng error (likw above in column size) must I go back to asprunner, pull up project again, go in and make my changes, and resave? I use FrontPage and would then have to send the files back down to my local drive and run through asprunner again. OR could I just pull up project again make my changes and ftp a file back to my website.. If so which file would I have to ftp back to my site?
    like your program.. glad I purchased it

Hi,
large text fields are wrapped by your web browser if it don't have enough space to display the whole field content as a single line. You can increase column size in ASPRunner while on the Formatting tab. Column size "10" means 10 pixels.
After you have changed something in ASPRunner you need to rebuild ASP files and FTP updated files to the Web server. If you are not sure what files were changed you can FTP the whole content of ASPRunner's output folder to your web site.

I'm trying the 21 day demo and I'm having the same problem.
I even specified 300 in the formatting width. I rebuilt all files and posted to my server. The only formatting that seems to work is BOLD.
Is this just because I'm using the demo??

Robert,
this is the way how HTML tables work.
When you set width of column to 300 ASPRunner creates code that tells browser to make this column 300 pixes wide.

<table ...><tr><td width=300> ...


If you have enough space on the list page this column will be exactly 300 pixles. However if you trying to fit 5 columns 300 pixels wide each into a table that 800 pixels wide your browser will shrink all columns.
I hope this explains what's happening.

I had this problem on the demo of ASPRunner. I upgraded to ASPRunnerPro and the problem went away.
