Another query if I may
When I publish, I see a html page that looks great. I then copy and paste that to the club website. When I do that, the ‘blue blocks’ (or any other style) disappears, and I’m left with a plain table, with no lines at all. Worse, the columns ‘merge’ so that for instance Something that should look like:
Kathy Laser 196300 1084 1 2 6 1 8 2 5 2
Becomes:
KeithLaser 196300 1084 1 2 6 1 8 2 5 2
It doesn’t seem to matter what web browser I use (tried IE , Chrome, Firefox).
The club website is a Joomla template type.
I can make it look ok by putting spaces in manually but that’s very labourious, and still doesnt look as good as 'blue blocks etc. You can see the problem at this link:http://www.yorkshiredales.sc/index.php/racing/clubresults/70-sunday-morning-series-2013 where I’ve put spaces in for the Series, but not for Race 1 (scroll down to get to that).
The odd thing is it used to work, but I had to do someting weird Like publish in IE, copy and paste into Word, , save that, then copy and paste into the Joomla template. There has to be an easier way!
Thanks

OOPs! It doesn’t of course change Kathy to Keith - that was entirely self inflicted.

By default, Sailwave puts the "styles" into the "head" section of the
HTML page. You cut and pasted the HTML codes from the "body" section but
not the styles from the "head" section. When you do that all styles are
ignored - the references in the HTML are still there but the styles they
refer to are missing. You need to cut and paste the "styles" into the
"head" for your page, if that is possible.
An alternative would be to set up your Sailwave output to use a "CSS"
styles file rather than including them in each page. Then you would need
to include a reference to the CSS file in your "head" section.
Either way, you will need to get something into the "head" section of
the page to be compliant with the standards for HTML pages.
NOTE: There is a way to do what you want BUT IT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE
STANDARDS FOR HTML and might not work or might break in the future.
COPY the styles from your the results pages you generate [the stuff
starting with the "<style type="text/css">" tag and ending with the
"</style>" tag, including the starting and ending tags, and PASTE them
into the body of your page (somewhere ahead of where the results are).
The copied code should be in the "body" section but outside of anything
else. This is not supposed to work but does for both Firefox and IE for
me. It may stop with new browsers in the future (or may not work for
other browsers now) but it would be a quick and dirty workaround until
you can get the problem fixed in a better, more compliant way.

PS - I believe there may be much more complicated workarounds using
javascript but I'm not too knowledgeable on that.

Instead of copy / paste, you should insert a link on the club website, where that link points to the location where the results file is stored. Normally that location is somewhere on the website's server.
