Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Bad Grid Display

    I have an a5w page up on a site that has a grid component. On all the computers that I have accessed the a5w page everything looks great. However, I have ONE computer where the grids have been striped of the Rainy Day format. The grid is just a bunch of fine lined bordered boxes showing the correct info. Since the page displays fine on all the computers but one, is there a setting in my browser on the one computer that may be causing this to happen? Help!!!

    RE: Bad Grid Display

    What browser is used on the computer with the problem? Does the browser support style sheets?

        RE: Bad Grid Display

        if you install firefox, or opera, or netscape on that computer, does the grid display correctly on those browsers?

          RE: Bad Grid Display

          I don't have any of the other browsers. But what I just discovered is that it is only ONE page that is causing the problem. I have other pages up on the web using the Rainy Day format and those pages display fine.

          I have attached a jpg showing the problem. Could it be that this is a result that the page is being displayed in a frame?

            i really don't know. the web app server generates standard html/css that should display correctly in all modern browsers.

            you can download netscape/firefox and opera for free and try them.

              I discovered that my Google search bar (when activated) would change the colors of some form fields in Internet Explorer.

                I am still researching this problem. I have found that the background color has different tones. But what is happening is that in some cases there is NO COLOR what so ever. Once I publish my pages I want to know what to expect from my customers. The pages that have No Color do not look very good at all. The page looses some appeal.

                I just had someone fax me the a5w code from their computer which had no background color. I compared it to code on a computer that displayed properly. There is no difference in the code. So the problem appears to be with the browser. Now I need to try and find out what parameters in IE that needs to be changed to have a decent display. Of course changing parameters would be the customers choice. I hope all of this makes sense.

                  Most all web browsers allow the user to override any colors and fonts defined in the web page itself. It sounds like this is the behaviour you are seeing. In Internet Explorer, the settings are under Tools-"Internet Options.
