I have 72 resources and when I generate the HTML my users cannot see the date at the top when they scroll down to their name. To fix this I have edited the HTMLmap.HTML in the program folder. These are the change I have made.

BEFORE
"<tr><td colspan=4 align=center><img SI-MapImage border=1 usemap="#map" alt="Schedule Image"></td></tr>"

AFTER
"<tr><td colspan=4 align=left><div style="overflow: hidden; height: 46px; margin-bottom: -25px;"><img SI-MapImage usemap="#map" alt="Schedule Image" border="1"></div><br>"
"<div style="overflow-x: hidden;overflow-y: auto; height: 700px;"><img SI-MapImage usemap="#map" alt="Schedule Image" border="1" style="margin-top: -40px;"></div></td></tr>"

This will create a header on the image of just the date and give you a scroll bar to view the rest of the resources. You will also need to replace the file header to ensure it works in IE6, EI7, and Firefox 3

BEFORE
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">"

AFTER
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">"

To finishe tweaking the webpage and to make it more user friendly. I created files with the following html to avoid the emails about dead links when you click on a resource name. You can file export to csv, get the number of all resources and resource groups and create these junk files.

"<html><TITLE>Resource Links</TITLE>
<font size=5>There are no external links for this resource.</font>"

I hope this kinda stuff will be in the next version. Smile

hello jlambe,
Thank you for your input.

We have added your HTML code to our template (v5) and added a field in the HTML settings to allow a full sized or fixed height image when outputting. This allows users to choose without changing the template. Image now also a gif to give a lower load time.
Thanks again.
