## Also not in the readme and modread pages ##
A little more help before the next upgrade.
For them what's game!!!
Imbedded HTML program code has been transferred to two new
require files - "ennyerr.pl" and "ennyemsg.pl".
Doing so will make it easier to edit the appearance of
the generated error output pages by editing the HTML
code as noted in those files and below; without doing too
much programming damage.
The preview module "ennyprev.pl" contains a few comments
assisting the change of preview table colours also. Change
the head section if desired and the tag
attributes.
The "ennysend.pl" final response page (which can be
overridden with your own page) also contains the default
HTML code.
**ALL OF THESE PAGES CODE CONTAIN IMBEDDED VARIABLES**
SUGGEST you use all defaults to begin with when first
using simple sample forms to familiarise your self with
the program and options.
THEN SAVE the generated final response page to your PC and
edit IT for the colours etc you want!! Then you will find
it easier to trace the table cell colours in the actual
code of "ennysend.pl" using the edited reference.
Using a program like MS WordPad the Search and Replace
function is ideal for changing colours (make sure you save
ONLY as ASCII text file!!!).
*** NOTE NOTE NOTE ***
SOME WYSIWYG editors will attempt to remove imbedded
variables OR change them to ISO chars etc OR move their
position in the page HTML code and/or whatever!
Do check same before up-loading over originals, or at least
be aware should a few bloopers appear!
ALSO
If using the program for forms that are accessed via
javascript pop-up windows remember that adding heaps of
mostly useless stuff to these pages will create havoc in
those smaller windows. But that is only of concern where you
have a mixture of applications - standard AND pop-up windows.
Where you see the "$tinsrt" and "$binsrt" variables the
program inserts the top and bottom "tban.pl" and "tban.pl"
files - referred to as banner files but any HTML code can
be used (backslash "\@" characters!)
ALSO
Recently a user was most perplexed by the preview page
appearing as an HTML mess!... until it was discovered that
the cheap host imbedded their adverts in every page and
really mucked up the preview HTML code as well. Just keep
such possibilities in mind.
