    Please Help !
    Burning question: The font size in the flatfile database is HUGE , Where can I specify the font size of the database output once I have created a form and everything is working great, other than the huge (looks like 16 point) output in the database file?

    PLEASE HELP !!!!!

    Thanks
    Tom

      font size in file-based database is "huge" ? I'm not sure what you really mean. Does the same problem occur on the demo site? Please be a little more clearer so I can see what you're talking about.

        I create a form with say 10 fields. Then ater the user inputs data into the 1o fiels, I go to the flat-file database page and all my field descriptions are nicely lined up in a row, only problem is the font size. It's bold and at least 16pt.
        The user input however is 10pt.
        How can this be changed?
        Thanks
        Tom

      aah I see. Ok, well what you need to do in that case is as follows:

      Go to line 248, it looks like this:
      echo "<td class='small'><center>$holder[$k]</td>";

      This is the line you need to edit to set your font settings. After the <center> tag, you can put your font tag with desired size/face. Something like <font face='arial' size=2> . Make sure you "do not" use double quotes at all! use single quotes like in my example.

      Thanks a lot..that fixed it !

      I have one more, maybe a dumb question.
      Users of my form report that when they fill out all the data fields on the html form and hit the submit button, it sometimes doesn't "go through". They do not get to my "thankyou" page. In other words, I think the process.php page hangs somewhere.
      Having said this, they could simply resubmit the data, but when they go "back" in their browser, all the data is gone. Is there a fix for retaining the data on the form page when this happens so they just resubmit?
      I do thank you for all your help.

      That doesn't seem to be a problem with the program, its more of a webserver/browser deal. Either the HTTP headers are not getting accross, or the person is not pressing the button right. Also, the back button thing is strictly client side. Some browsers keep your data, while others loose it.
