Use our ASP database page to
build and edit your booth. Select your booth
from the scroll down list and then enter your pin number. ( If you
forgot your
pin number, e-mail us at: info@homeschoolconvention.com
) Enter the appropriate information in the data fields. Each field has a title and when you click "Save
Changes", you will see where the information was placed in the
booth.
Below is some simple HTML code that you can use to enhance your booth.
Included at the bottom of the page are some tech support items.
DATES:
Enter dates in this format - mm/yy/dd
TYPE STYLES:
<B>Anything you type here will be bold.</B>
<I>Anything you type here will be italic.</I>
LINE BREAKS:
<BR> (New line with no space)
<P> (New line with a space between paragraphs)
HORIZONTAL LINES:
<HR>
LINK TO ANOTHER WEB PAGE:
<A HREF="URL of website">What Ever Site's Name</A>
LINK TO AN E-MAIL ADDRESS:
<A HREF="mailto:anyemail@address.com">anyemail@address.com</A>
BULLETED LIST:
<UL>
<LI>Type your text here.
<LI>Type your text here.
<LI>Type your text here.
</UL>
NUMBERED LIST:
<OL>
<LI>Type the first item here.
<LI>Type the second item here.
<LI>Type the third item here.
<OL>
LINK TO A PICTURE OR GRAPHIC FROM A WEBSITE:
<IMG SRC="URL address of picture">
To size picture, add "WIDTH=?>
example: <IMG SRC="images/nameopicture.jpg"WIDTH=100>
Center picture with center command: <center>
</center>
Sample text for database fields:
This is a paragraph that I want to type in my database.
First, I want this text to be <B>bold</B>. Next, I
want
to <I>italicize</I> this item.
<P>Now this will start a separate paragraph.
If I want to just <BR> go to the next line I use the br tag.
Use this code to
make spaces.
<HR>There will be a horizontal line all the way across the top
of this line of type because I used the horizontal rule tag.
Now I am going to add a link to another web page such as
<A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</A> or if the
link
is already on the same web site you can just type
<A HREF="default.asp">My Home Page</A>.
When in doubt just type the entire address in.
You can go to the page and copy the address from the address line.
If I want to mention an email link I would type
<A HREF="mailto:dkahre@fullnet.net">dkahre@fullnet.net</A>.
This would make an email link to me.
Here is a sample of a bulleted list:
<UL>
<LI>HTML is very easy to use.
<LI>All you have to do is add a few tags to your text.
<LI>You will get the hang of it very quickly.
</UL>
Here is a sample of a numbered list:
<OL>
<LI>Partridge in a pear tree
<LI>Turtle doves
<LI>French Hens
<LI>Calling doves
<LI>Golden rings
</OL>
Here is a picture that I want to add to my text.
<IMG SRC="images/bike.gif">
Be sure to type everything just the way you see
here in this sample.
TECH SUPPORT:
Once in awhile you will encounter an error after
you press "Save Changes". Here are some tips to help:
Sometimes you will see the wrong information listed
for a specific item. Be sure to hit the "reload" button
to get a fresh page from the web site if this happens.
Sometimes your computer stores a copy of a page and then
just loads it instead of the new copy you have recently edited.
Sometimes you will see an error message such as
"Errors occurred". If this happens it is probably a
line that is too long for the field. Fields without
scrollbars have a limit like 25 or 50 or 100 or 255
characters depending on how I set them up. In general,
if you have a line that is unusually long, try abbreviating it.
Sometimes you will see an error message with the phrase
"Cannot be a zero-length string." This just means that
the field that is mentioned cannot be blank. Just type
a few spaces in the field if you want to leave it blank.
Make sure that date fields are in the format:
mm/dd/yy and that fields that should contain numbers
like Price only contain a number
