How can I build a tabular form using ASP?

[fmasin]

Hi,

Just wondering whether anybody out there knows how to build a tabular form using ASP - something similar to tabular forms in Ms Access.



Thanks and regards,

Francis

the tabular effect you are looking for is not an ASP feature - it is achieved with HTML and CSS - take a look in Forum215

Try a search in the HTML/CSS forum first as this question has been asked before

Anyway, considering that you are here already here is a CSS that does it

FORM
{
Font-Family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
Font-Size: 10pt;
Border-Color: FFFFFF;
Border-Style: none;
Border-Width: 0;
Margin: 0;
}
.textbox
{
Font-Family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
Font-Size: 10pt;
Border-Color: FFFFFF;
Border-Style: none;
Border-Width: 0;
Margin: 0;
}


Just create your textboxes like this

<input type="textbox" name="txname" class="textbox">

Qatqat,

Many thanks for this....I had actually failed to get the right solution to my problem...I have looked at the CSS forum without much joy.

Thanks and regards,

QatQat,

I have tried your code but it is not quite what I want. What I mean is how to create a form with various tabs, so that I can link it to the database to show the master record on the first page and the details on the subsequent pages. Please assist.

Thanks and regards,

Francis

Thank you so much for this. However, the framestab.asp does not work. There is a missing <--include file...to do with debugging.. How do I get it to work?

And how would I incorporate this code with my stylesheet. When I call up the stylesheet, it seems to mix things up...may be it's just me.

Thanks and regards,

Francis

try this link, original version and much simpler...no inline frames...

You should be easily merge your css style sheet into it...

DNG,

Thanks but I require a username and password to log on to the link...

Thanks and regards,

Francis,

That website is a free site...just register and get a free membership and you can download the code without any problems...

DNG,

It doesn't actually allow me to register. All it is prompting me for, is a username and password. No option to register at all. Perhaps it's just me. But I still can't see anything else ...

Thanks and regards,

Francis

damber,

that website has a limit of downloading code form the site without registrering to the site...may be you visited the site for the first time and havent downloaded anything yet...but once you try to downloaded couple of codes...then it will propmt for asking you to register for the site...

[damber]

ah, I see - you're right, I tried it a couple of times and the third time it asked for me to sign-up - easy to get around, just delete the cookies for the site. But it looks easy enough so is probably worthwhile registering anyway.
