HTML question

[jes]

How can I do this? This is a calander. How can I add captions to the cells now?

jes..don't know, but wanted to explain four or five of the "views" of this post are mine. Keep thinking of something else to try, but can't open the txt file in Notepad, Wordpad, or Works..well, opens but only as "code." Won't open in PSP. Might open in Front Page Express..think that is what that is called..the feeble freebie that comes with 98, but don't want to do that online. If it was a gif file, then one could easily take it to something like PSP and add text, and even add it as a separate layer so could merge for putting on Web, but leave unmerged for saving in case need to edit.

Will check in tomorrow, and hope someone has/had the answer because would be useful info for me too.

Don't think I can do it but have downlopaded and will try.

Kay to open as a web page tename tha last 3 digits to wither htm or html. If you do this you will see it as the web page looks and not in html coding.

I cut down the number of months to one and removed the double post.....since it was essentially displaying the same. Too much srolling otherwise.

I'm not entirely sure what you are are after but tables may not be the best way to go about it....

Are you wanting to be able to change the captions or have them static?

[jes]

I only need static captions. I want a calander online that I can upload my captions too. I have MS Works and it will do it but a computer would need to have MS Works to view it. The same problem would occur with MS Word. Any computer with access to the Internet would be able to view and html document. That is why I am trying to get this to work via html. If tables aren't the way to do this, what would be better?

[david eaton]

Using tables, the only way that comes to mind is to have an additional set of rows, like this:-

<table border=1 align=center width="500" height="400">
<tr><td align="center" colspan=7><b>June 2003</b></td></tr>
<tr align=right valign=top>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>7</td>
</tr>
<tr align=right valign=top>
<td>caption1</td>
<td>caption2</td>
<td>caption3</td>
<td>caption4</td>
<td>caption5</td>
<td>caption6</td>
<td>caption7</td>
</tr>

etc.

alternatively, you could make each number a link to an item in a list on the same page.

Like this


<td> a href="caption1 ">1 </a></td>
.......
..

<a name="caption1">
TEXT
</a>

repeat as needed!

That would be a pain to view, even with DSL or cable because you would have to click on the date to see what the caption says.
Is there no other way to make a calander with HTML (other than the one with the extra rows of cells)?

[kayofcircles]

Been lost in one of those bureaucratic Twilight Zones the last few days, but this morning changed the file end as ErnieK suggested, and can see the grid, except my Works too old for html stuff. Can't "find" Front Page Express..sigh, don't know if we installed it or not, thought so, but? Anyway, had a weird thought..don't know if feasible. Could you use the grid as a background on the webpage you're creating, and then make a transparent gif file with the text in the appropriate places to be "over" the background grid? Or a small gif to place over the background grid in the appropriate square. We KNOW it's possible because I have seen grids on the Web with stuff..sometimes a link, sometimes not..in the squares. We just need to figure how they did it.. :)

Shareware (http://www.htmlcalendar.com/products/windows/) you could try out and also check out the html while you are at it.

If you can use Word to do what you want - then how about just "Save As" Webpage when you have it to your liking.

BTW - IE can open word documents even if they are not html. Just try a *.doc and "Open With" and choose Interenet Explorer.
