WYSIWYG and Frontpage/Sharepoint Editing

ASPRunnerPro General questions

WYSIWYG editing isn't quite what I'd hoped. I'm wanting to be able to more thoroughly modify cell and table properties, confining rows that they're a single-line height, columns so that they're a fixed width unless the data is wider than the column itself (instead of going to two ros, it makes the column as wide as the info in it), etc. With ASPRunner 4.x (which didn't have WYSIWYG built into it) I could at least bring up each page in Frontpage/Sharepoint and edit the table properties that way. With 5.x, though, on the Design tab it's just blank so seemingly I can't do any graphical modifications with Sharepoint Designer, although to be honest I'd prefer to be able to do it all in ASPRunnerPro so that those properties are saved in the project. I'm not a web designer so doing it in the code is quite a chore for me. How can I accomplish this?

In ASPRunnerPro 5.x you can switch to HTML mode to make any HTML change that is not explicitly available via Visual Editor.

True, but it's code only, not graphical. That's okay, guess I'll need to learn some code.

Anyone else have any pointers? All I'm really wanting to do is know how to code it so that I can have all rows the same height and a minimum width, mainly so that rows widen based on content instead of dropping down to a second line. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I recommend to post your application to Demo Account and send the URL to support@xlinesoft.com where I can see this issue. Also it would be nice if you attach a screenshot that explains how this page should appear.

See if this helps:
Try editing the style sheets in this folder of your project output files: \include\. Usually the styles for tables are in the style.css.
If you wanna a GUI, simply open the ASP pages in your Sharepoint Designer (open your output folder or web folder directly, or copy just the asp & style sheet linked to your working location). It will automatically load the corresponding style sheets at the back.
Just be aware, there are many layers of tables in each page...... say, in each table cell, there may be another small table wrapping only the words.

It is quite complicated to read at first sight.

Thanks. When I open the asp page in Sharepoint Designer, though, the entire page is blank and there's nothing that can be edited on the design tab. The HTML tab shows the code, however, but I"m wanting to edit it using GUI. With ASPRunner 4.1 I didn't have this problem, but with 5.2 this problem occurs. It's mainly just hte list.asp page that I'm wanting to change how the table displays/behaves. Any idea why I'm not seeing anything graphically in Sharepoint Designer on list.asp?
Thanks.

Okay under /templates I just realized there are html files for each file type. Will anything be changed by editing those in Sharepoint Designer? Guess I'll just try it out and see.

Yup. That was it. With ver 5.2 it's the .html counterpart file under /template that needs to be modified.

Great to hear you finally got it work! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=29150&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
Sorry for misleading you to look at the .asp, didn't notice the wordings... as i usually will look for the corresponding .html all together...
