But I pretty much use easy settings on FP... like 98% for the innermost table, split in half for 2 cols. (50%)... or allow FP to set widths on multi cols based on what I type in the cells. A full name for example needs more space than a State abbreviation like PA, so sometimes I get stuff like 30%, 22%, 18%, 17%, etc. . I don't yet understand pixels (like how a tbl can be something like 750 pixels and that kinda be full size on the page, so I just don't use it.. My predecessor used pixels in the 700s on tables and I just left them since I didn't understand. Judy
Judy, I'll dispose of the pixel issue first. Using percentages is fine, up to a point. If you design your page while having your monitor set to a resolution of 1024x768, it will look fine on anyone else's computer who is at that resolution or higher. However, if the viewer has a lower resolution of 800x600, or, Heaven forbid, 640x480, the effect you wanted may be completely ruined because their browser will be working with a smaller area. Using pixels eliminates that problem. Set the pixel width with the <table width="nnn">. You can then use percentages for the cells. If someone with a lower resolution views it, there will be a horizontal scroll bar rather than the cells being compressed and unintended wraps being put in each cell. Personally, I put all page data inside a single cell table. Immediately following the <body> tag, I put in: <center> <table border="0" width=*850"> <tr><td align=left valign=left" Then, just before the </body> tag: </td></tr> </table> </center> I can then use percentages trhoughout the page. This limits the working area to 850 pixels and centers everything on the page. Note that you don't want to use pixels inside this. If you do and 2 or more items that are side by side add up to more than the 850, you will have a nice mess. :-) As for inserting rows & columns, like Dale, I'd need to see the code. Both Dale and I do all our coding by hand. I'm strongly opposed to the use of most web authoring tools. FP is not as bad as some, but it still creates a page that is at least twice the size of a well done hand coded page. Have you taken a look at CoffeeCup? It allows you to switch back and forth between WYSIWYG and code and it doesn't mess with the code if you do it your own way. I haven't looked at a recently generated FP page. But, most </td> and </tr> tags are not requred in a table. The browser assumes they are there if a new <td> or <tr> tag is encountered. If FP is not putting the end tags in, it could be much more difficult to debug a table.

I'm still struggling to hand code tables, especially to ADD a row/column to an EXiSTING table. I'm doing 300+ WWII photos/articles. I made a table per alphabet letter -- or -- a 2 col table with one letter names on the right and another alphabet letter on the left. Sometimes submitters send files and it appears they have sent all. So I finish my table of links on a main page for navigation in that folder. Then, weeks later, the submitter sends ONE or two files they forgot -- in that same alphabet letter. I end up re-doing the table.... or stick the name at the bottom, out of order. It'd look nicer if all were in order, but even copy-pasting of the entire table gets cumbersome.... So............ is there an EASY way to insert an additional row/column in between existing entries? When I've tried it, I end up with some cell to the left or right of the column.... and then I don't know how to find the code I just inserted in order to remove the error.... So I gave up months ago trying to change an existing table. But it would be nice now to learn how the experts add a row/col without messing up what's already there, rather than re-typing or having to do tedious copy-paste on tons of names//links. I use Frontpage2000 and know how to do some html changes by hand. It's changing tables that confuse me most.

you can privatize in the FTM file menu before exporting I just add a fictional "about" date after 1930 if I want to exclude an entry if a marriage date is known then I assume it happened in the 11 years from 20 to 30 years of age so a wedding in 1965 I would guess at a birth " between 1934 - 1945" and the 11 year span makes them easy to spot when better data turns up Hugh W On 3/22/07, Heather Waddingham <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Morning List: > > I use Family Tree Maker.

I also use Composer for a lot of my site manipulation. There is a quirk that can deceive you. The page will look fine when you view it on your machine, but net viewers can't see certain images. This is because the link address is a 'local ' address, not a web url. To check this: While viewing the page in Composer, click on the image, and check the link address. Make sure the check box for "URL is relative..." is checked. One other possibility is that you make have labeled the .jpeg as ,jpg while both of these will identify the file correctly, one will not work if the link uses the other. Just a couple possible solutions. Jeff Owens Richard & Pat wrote: >Hi, >My jpgs will not show up on my website and I can't figure out why.

You need to check and see if it is online in the right location. Plus check to see if your JPEG string is .jpg or .JPG on your website. Your FTP should be able to tell you either way. Matt Matthew D.

I have been using IPSWITCH WS_ftp for uploading, but find it is getting increasingly difficult (often freezes), and it takes several tries for a successful upload. Someone mentioned uploading through rootsweb. Can anyone describe, in detail, how that is down. Or any other way to upload that will get me away from WS_ftp? Carmen Finley
