I am using a couple of forms to display data using html rather than using an attribute as I want the data to be Read Only. I have used Type html to display and format my data in the form cell (see below):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<div style=" border: solid 1px lightgray;
border-radius: 5px;
PADDING: 8px 12px;
width: 600px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: white;
height: 16px;
TEXT-ALIGN: left; ">
<body>
<<Tickets.ClientName>>
</body>
</html>
</div>
My question is, when I use this method, the data is display correctly in the format I want but the Label is positioned way too high on the form out of alignment with the displayed data. Is there a better way to display the data as read only in the same format as say a normal text attribute and have the Label aligned with the displayed data.

Re: CSS Formating Query
Try to put below code into the html box..
Let know if that works for you.
Just enable the Label property from the property window.<div style=" border: solid 1px lightgray;
border-radius: 5px; PADDING: 8px 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white;
height: 16px; TEXT-ALIGN: left; "><<Tickets.ClientName>> </div>
Let know if that works for you.

Re: CSS Formating Query
1) your HTML is malformed
2) FYI _ I've never needed to put
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
inside my html fields.

Re: CSS Formating Query
Thanks, I have used that format above and get the same results except for the field length. The label property is enabled but I get the label set too high for the field. See below:<div style=" border: solid 1px lightgray;
border-radius: 5px; PADDING: 8px 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white;
height: 16px; TEXT-ALIGN: left; "><<Tickets.ClientName>> </div>
The centre of the label and the field do not line up.
Re: CSS Formating Query
Have one more try... it should fix your issue and play with css to make adjustable according to you.
Cheers
<span style=" border: solid 1px lightgray;
border-radius: 5px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white;
TEXT-ALIGN: left; padding:2px; "><<Tickets.ClientName>></span>
Cheers

Re: CSS Formating Query
Hi there,
That sorted the alignment problem. Thanks.
I know this is not the correct place to bring up another problem but as you will see below, the cells are overlapping and I am struggling how to change that. I have tried using margins etc in the CSS code but have not had any success. Can you advise.

Re: CSS Formating Query
I have tried margin-top in the CSS above and this appears to have no effect. If I use margin-left, the cell contents move to the right of the form as expected but nothing happens with Margin-top or margin-bottom.
Code: Select all
<span style=" border: solid 1px lightgray; border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 50px; PADDING: 8px 12px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: white; height: 14px; TEXT-ALIGN: left; "><<Tickets.AssignedEngineer>> </span>Re: CSS Formating Query
It's a really worthwhile time investment spending a day learning the basics/fundamentals of CSS/HTML:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_blocks.asp
Top and bottom Margin and Padding has no effect for Inline elements, only Block elements.
If not already done you should also remove the <body element which is also not needed, along with the <doctype and <html elements previously mentioned.
Span is an Inline element. You can change it to be an inline block element by incorporating 'display: inline-block;'.

Re: CSS Formating Query
I’m surprised no one has mentioned this, and I wanted to but I was sure it would come out.
It seems like you’re doing a lot of work to use HTML to make the screen look exactly the way AIM was gonna make the screen look anyway.
All for the sake of it being read-only?
So the READ PROTECT command would be useful, as well as the NO EDIT option (if I remember correctly) to view a form.
