Database On-Demand HTML table settings

This window is used to configure the various attributes of the HTML table tag and to determine how the HTML file is generated.

Database On-Demand supports the writing of query results in HTML using an HTML template file. A template is an HTML document that contains special tags indicating where the query results should be imbedded. The resulting Web page contains everything in the template file, including the query results in the specified location.

Table Alignment

Maximum Table Size

Specifies the maximum number of rows the table can contain. If the maximum number of rows is exceeded, additional HTML files are generated, and forward and backward links are created to link the documents together.

Equal Column Widths

Makes all the columns in the table an equal width. This works only for Netscape Navigator.

Include Border

Creates a border. Border widths are specified in pixels. A border width of 0 is the same as deselecting this option.

Cell Spacing

Specifies the cell spacing for the HTML table. Cell spacing is the thickness, in pixels, of the horizontal and vertical dividing lines that appear between the cells. If deselected, default cell spacing is used. Default cell spacing is dependent upon the individual browser.

Cell Padding

Specifies the cell padding for the HTML table. Cell padding is the amount of space, in pixels, between the cell's border and the text that appears in the cell. If deselected, default cell padding is used. Default cell padding is dependent upon the individual browser.

Use HTML File As Template

Specifies the HTML file used as the template file. If a template file is not specified, a default HTML file is generated that contains the document tags and the resulting table.

Template files are used to imbed the resulting table in an existing HTML document. The template file is not modified. The output file contains everything from the template file, including the results table at the specified location.

The browse button is enabled when this option is selected, and allows for file browsing.
