Do you have the same issue when it is added to your layout? It is in your layout it is going to sit once your done in HTML section editor.

I strongly suggest you read up on the HTML Table Tag over at www.w3schools.com as you have too many of those in your HTML page then would be required to achive the same result. Also look at colspan, and rowspan attributes of TH and TD sub tags of the TABLE tag. When you removed redundant tables look at anything in the code that has to do with width. If you have 300px at you disposal and the image is 120px in the left column. You have 180px left for the right column. If you have a table in the right column cell which hava a width and margin and padding set to more then what you have left then the content of that table is is going to be truncated.

Hey,
Thanks for all your knowledge but this is a one time thing and I think I've got one that I like.  The only other "annoying" thing that I would love to change is that blue outline for you image.  Any way to get rid of that or change it to black?

The border is something that come into play when you use <DP NAME="IMAGE" WIDTH="345">, and to control that border you have to use a style.

Put the following somewhere in between <STYLE TYPE="text/css"><!-- and --></style>.
Quote:
img {
  border-color: black;
}

or if you wish to remove the border completely use this:
Quote:
img {
  border: 0px;
}

Excellent, thanks sooo much again.  Here is what I have so far:


What I would like to do is change the title font to a better one.  Ive looked at a few but nothing stands out.  Any ideas?

Also, I've noticed on some other downloadable layouts the entire page has a greenish tint to it.  How do they do that? 

Agian, thanks soooooo much, I really dp appreciate it.

Can you show me what you mean by that? Do you have an example?

I've been following this thread with some interest.

Would it be possible to have the html window display a different image depending on what primary genre the film is.

For example, if I wanted a pink bg for Romance or a grey for Drama etc.

And if this IS possible...could it go even further and have a different image display as a bg for each film, such as the movie poster?

Many thanks

Yes.

Through inline style or an single external stylesheet using link tag. Both implementation types are initiated in the head tag.
You could even have a DP_* variable dictate which of several external stylesheets to load using a javascript snipet. The styling possibilities are endless.

Just as an example:
I am currently working in a project to have the order data from a text file loaded into a HTML window for each DVD in DVDP. It loads the stylesheet based on Retailer and selects a simple file in a local folder based on the purchase date. Each retailer stylesheet is set up to look like its live counterpart. Each stylesheet load a background, font, logo image, ... more.
But, each stylesheet requires time to set up, so doing this for each dvd i.e. posters will probably be a "full time job", so to speak

Unless I'm seeing things, this has a green tint to it.

To change the color of the program itself... go to the button marked as Theme (or you can go to View -->Themes)... there you have several choices of colors...

- Blue
- Silver
- Olive
- Luna
- Obsidian
- Classic
- XP

I believe that green you are looking for is under Olive

That I don't know.... maybe because you are using a custom layout? If I remember right it was said that some things disappear with custom Layouts. Forget how they said to fix that if it is what is causing it.

A way to test it would be...

- Be sure your custom layout is saved.
- Go to Load Layout and load default layout
- See if you have them all in default layout

Then you can load your custom layout to get it back.
