Colin,

Checked out the th/td implementation. Good stuff!!!!

One minor overall glitch - if you don't specify a class then the HTML generated for <td> and <th> tags are <td > and <th >, respectively. Note the extra spaces. These displayed correctly on Firefox but look malformed as I've never seen that construction before. Minor, but probably worth fixing as I suppose some browsers might hiccup on the extra space.

In the summary table I used rank, sailno, boat, helmname, class, club, rating, race and nett and they all worked just fine for both th and td tags. I suppose someone might want the race columns to have separate classes but I think treating them the same is quite all right.

In the race table I used rank, sailno, boat, helmname, class, club, rating, finish, elapsed, corrected, bce and nett. All but the last one worked just fine for both th and td tags. The field "bce" isn't in the list of field names and the col class name of "racebce" didn't work but I tried "bce" on the off chance it would work and it did. That probably needs documentation as an exception.

Neither "race.col.nett.th" nor "race.col.nett.td" worked. So, there seems to be a glitch of some kind with the nett column in the race tables.

For an example of how this stuff can work, go to:

http://cssizer.com/nZbLBYZG

Drag the righthand window to the left so the text in cells is all on one line. Every <th> and <td> has a class. In the left pane, at the bottom, you can see the attributes used for the new classes. Only the cells in a column or only the header or both can be styled. If you want you can go to cssizer.com and cut and paste in the html code and css code (or your own) and play around yourself in a new window (your changes only show when you "Save Changes"). One nice thing about CSS is that if you put your CSS styles in a separate document you can re-style without having to re-generate your HTML file.

just one thing.

    .nett is the series net points - doesn't exist for races.  use

race.col.points - should be listed in results.htm

ah - wrt bce -
correct it’s not a field name - you can use all the
‘hard wired’ race columns as specified in results.htm e.g.
race.col.bce.td and race.col.speed.th etc - and
race.col.. i’ll try and make the help
clearer… no tweaks necessary, just doc clarification.

This is great, Colin. Muchas gracias.

Ahhh. I should have thought of trying something like that. I tried "nett" because that is the class for the <col> tag in race tables. You are right, race.col.points IS listed for the heading title in results.htm and I should have thought to try that also. It works.

It might make sense to change the class for the <col> tag for that column so it is "points" also. That way one could have different column widths for the nett column in the summary table and the points column in the race tables.

I note that you cannot have comments in the results.htm file. I think the way to really handle this would be to have each of the common fields defined with a class name to itself (i.e., identical to the field name) with a short explanation of how it works. Right in the results.htm file but commented out. Then, if a user wanted to implement some class or all classes it would just be necessary to cut and paste from inside the comment to outside the comment. I've seen that approach often in config-type files and it works well.
