Hi all, I’ve been tinkering with adding new data to my homepage such as Indoor temperature, humidity, and so on, and I’m not having that much of a problem setting the values in ajax-dashboard.php, BUT, there’s got to be an easier and faster way of setting up tables for the different sections without having to a lot of manual table creation.
Microsoft had a good thing going when they created ExpressionWeb for editing pages. You could create a new table, colour it, put in your headings, and after you had your table looking really good, then you could manually add your new values. Now that they’ve dropped it like a hot potato and you can’t download it anymore, I don’t have an old copy, and I’m having great difficulty creating my own tables manually.
I find that with me there’s a lot of hit and miss when creating tables. Sometimes I get my and tags mixed up and when I look at it, the table’s columns are mixed up, then I have to go back and change it again and hope it looks better. I would love to just set something up really quickly, make it look nice, and have it available right away. Heaven forbid if I want to created a nested column!
For some of you who run the Saratoga Scripts and have managed to change your default pages, I have seen a few of your websites, and they do look fantastic! Much, much better than what I could get my site looking like without a lot of manual intervention. My question is - for any of you who have successfully changed your home pages, do you have a special application tool that you use to create your tables, headers and data tags? Right now I’m using Windows 10 Notepad, which although is OK for some stuff, it totally sucks for other stuff I want to add to my page. I’ve already invested a ton of time on my page and right now it doesn’t look half as good as I want it to.
Thanks for any suggestions.
