changing the left margin
Hi,
When a search result displays records there's always a big left margin. I tryed to reduce it but couldn't.

I added :

leftmargin="0"

in the body tag of the html document in "html_view_success" and it dosn't work (I can only increase it).

I've looked all over but can't find it....please help me.

Thanks

I'm not sure which margin you're talking about. Do you mean the space on the left side of the web page? Or space between the edge of the form and the text? I need you to be a little more specific.

The blank space on the far left side of the page (not the margin inside the tables).

Go through and take out the <center> and </center> tags at the beginning and ends of each of the subroutines. Every one of the "form" subroutines has a <center> tag just after

<input type=hidden name="uid" value="$db_uid">

and a </center> tag just before

</form>

The pages that don't have forms have the tags just after

<body bgcolor="#DDDDDD">

and just before

</body>

Removing the tags will move the forms and pages over to the left side of the page.

.....I still can't get it.

maybe I should mention that this system will only use searches. There's no passwords, and I won't use the scipt to add, modify or delete records.

It's a little french/spanish dictionary and the reason I want to get rid of the left margin is because the page will be in a frame (it isn't yet) so I nead all the space I can get.

You can chek it out if you want:

hit "lister tout" to display the records and see what I mean.

Do you want the result page to be aligned to the very left?

If so, delete <blockquote> from the top of the page and </blockquote> from the bottom of the page.

FYI: <blockquote> will indent your text between the anchors, <blockquote></blockquote>.
