    Hi – thanks for your code. If I can successfully set things up to use in production, of course I will donate to you. I already have the OK from my boss.

    I am trying to move to Tablepress with extensions from this html table: http://www.computerreview.com/cgi-bin/counts.pl

    I export the counts from a mysql table to create this, and then encode all of the links and colors for each number in the cells.

    Can I pass the whole URL as a cell, like this:

    Computation and Quantum

    My thought is to create the CSV file daily, and have TablePress import it automatically. Can you tell me if all this is possible…and if it is already documented somewhere, sorry about that, but could you point me towards the documentation?

    Thanks very much,
    Steve Keith

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    You could use CSV, yes, and would have to fill the cells with HTML code for the links as well. That said, you could also simply use the link from above directly, with the HTML import. That might save you some steps.

    You should however heavily clean up the HTML code, and e.g. remove all those <FONT color=#333377 face=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva size=2> HTML tags, in favor of CSS code for styling.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you very much Tobias. I saw somewhere a question about donations. I’ll go find the method and send one along, this looks like it is going to work out for me in the future.
