Webby stuff I figured out today
As a side-job I mind the website of a nearby township, and their clerk asked me to post some budget spreadsheets today, which created an interesting challenge.
The site is a Wordpress site and the designer hasn't given either of us admin privileges, so I can only do HTML stuff in the body...I can't dig into the CSS or the stuff in the page's head. The pages have a narrow central column that's maybe 5-600 pixels. The spreadsheets were very wide.
First, I found a way to convert Excel data to HTML tables, yay! The Tableizer This was very cool, and who knows, I may need to use it again someday.
When I plunked the wide table into the narrow column, it spilled over the right hand side and over the search box. Very ugly. Then with some research I found I could create a [div] that would put a scrollbar at the bottom for me. In case you ever need a scrollbar, here are the instructions.
