Formatting guestbook (form) results

[FrodeDyrdal]

Trying to make a guestbook in FP2002, and I would like to know how to
control the formatting of the text to be added in the resultfile.
Se example on: http://www.akkuratd.com/newsite/dguestbook.html
The titles "Name", "Email", "Website", "Date" and "Time" in the guestbook
entries is just shown in bold and nothing more, whilst the "Message" title
is inserted with H3
formatcodes (heading 3). I don't know why - because I haven't yet found how
to control the formatting of information when it is appended to the
resultfile.
I would want to e.g. make all headings into e.g. <h3> format but how could
one control these formatting issues ?

Regards
Frode

To control some of the formatting, you have to apply a theme or you can try
applying CSS via a external style sheet file.

I have already applied a CSS.
The problem is that I cannot find a way to control which formatting codes
the form in the guestbook adds when the information is stored in a file.
One heading has got the h3 formatting without any reason for it - as I can
see.

Sorry, then you are basically stuck with the current formatting, unless
someone else have a solutions. In general you are limited to whatever option
appear in the dialog box when using any of the webbot.

You don't have a std FP guestbook,
Just a form that save results in http://www.akkuratd.com/newsite/dguestlog.html
- looks like you modified the guestbook template to make it a form
So you can't display the guestlog results
PS the std FP form results types can not be modified,
- in you case it is using the <p> & <b> tags as in
<p><b>Name: </b>*Esso<br>

I started off the FP guestbook template, but true - I modified it and added
som extra fields since the template only had one field where users could
enter data.
Anyway - isen't there any hope for me trying to make a FP guestbook with
more than one field _and_ possibility to control the formatting in the
logfile http://www.akkuratd.com/newsite/dguestlog.html ?

No
All you can do is apply a style sheet to it for the </p> and <h3> tags
and add page heading or formatting
