That's a tough question to answer. I don't think the code is complicated but then I really like puzzles. And then I have no idea how long it will take anyone else to learn anything. That isn't meant to sound snide but I'm self taught in whatever I undertake. If I was in a classroom setting or even involved in some user groups I might have an idea. Here's my approach: look at the code and try to isolate areas to figure out what that line or statement does, then modify it and see what happens. All code editors can toggle back and forth to view it browser mode. There are a lot of books to buy but most just seem to cater to whatever excites the author. You can go to http://www.w3schools.com and find simple lists of all commands with a description of what each one does. I'm sure most of us have inherited our website after at least one and maybe five other volunteers have worked on it. The WSIWYG users copy and paste with no idea what they are actually putting in. They just know what the end result looks like. For example, an old statement " " interprets as "non-breaking space" and it's rarely used in modern code. In ALL of the pages I inherited I'm finding as many as 60 of these statements in one long line and that line just contains SPACES. Then each and every data record contains all of the font statements when the font can be defined ONCE early in the page. My advice is to try a sample file. Save one of your smaller cemeteries to a different name like "testcem.htm" and work with it. Copy and paste the code that gives you trouble into an email and we will help. Gale Gorman (Robertson Co.)
