Jumbo T. brought something very interesting in the original thread, which was inexplicably cut off in the middle of his answer, and cannot be continued. Instead of using individual text boxes for columns of information, can it be done on, say Excel, and the Excel sheet put on my Everweb page(s)? If so how? Thank you. |

Using an HTML table styled with CSS is the most efficient way to do this… http://everwebcodebox.com/containers/column.html The HTML is very simple and logical. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Here's the complete link : http://trotter.is-best.net/canoga/ It uses an iframe to display the table in the page. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp To use Excel, you do the same : http://trotter.is-best.net/competition/ This is the html file saved in excel : http://trotter.is-best.net/competition/data/S1.htm You can make changes in the spreadsheet application and save it as a html page without editing in EW. |

Jumbo T. Thank you very much. I tried it your way, but iframes absolutely baffle me. I cannot make them work. The link you gave me to 3schools was of no help to me whatsoever. Iframes wants a URL, what URL? These will be in a folder in my website folder. I tried using the file path, but all I got was a massive image to which I could not make any changes. I found that if I change the Excel sheet into a .jpg, it works perfectly. It's easy and I can change dimensions easily. The question is still why are there no problems with my real website, only with the mobile version? |

Drag the HTML Snippet wider.

Thanks Roddy. I am constantly adding more rows to each column. Does this mean that I have to go into the HTML and add more code for each row every time I want to add one? |
