HOWTO: Change Default Properties for Genhtml

ID: Q187982

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0

SUMMARY

If you do not like the default color and font that the Genhtml program uses when you save a form or report to HTML, you can change the color and font in the Genhtml.dbf file.

MORE INFORMATION

By default, if you do not call Genhtml programmatically with the style parameter to create a Web page, Genhtml creates the page(s) with a silver background and a standard font. To change the default color and font try using the following sample code:


   USE HOME()+"GENHTML.DBF"
   LOCATE FOR ID = 'VFPDefault'
   REPLACE Style WITH 'table{color:red; font-size:18pt;
   font-family:Arial}', prescript WITH '_oHTML.body.bgColor="blue"'
   USE

This code changes the default color and text to an 18 point Arial font with red text and a blue background. The next time you save an item as HTML, the program uses the new color and font.

NOTE: If you cannot find your Genhtml.dbf file, you must run the Genhtml.prg program once. The easiest way to do this is to browse a table and from the File menu, select "Save As HTML".
