Maginot/viewnews.cgi different output w/ same style (SOLVED)
Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 2:17 pmEDIT: Removed links to example pages as they are no longer available and added an explanation of the problem instead.
Problem: Viewing a news item about softball game results with viewnews.cgi displayed the line score (that is a table with a row for each team and the runs scored in each inning by that team in a cell, total runs, hits and errors are displayed at the end of the row), but a Maginot static profile did not display the line score.
I was wondering why the line score is displaying in the viewnews.cgi output and not displaying in the Maginot output. See the next post for my solution.
I am using Maginot to create static pages for each game so that I can delete last year's schedule and enter next year's schedule.
I use the following style for both:
