DXKeeper Summary Report HTML Snippets



You can now use DXKeeper to create a customized HTML page with your DXCC Summaries so you can publish that information on your personal web page. Below is the Reports Configuration panel - you will enter your customized HTLM code in the box labeled "Optional HTML".



If you leave the Optional HTML area blank, you will get a "plain" HTML report of your DXCC stats. While this report is sufficient, it is somewhat "boring" . For those of you who are proficient in HTML coding, you can skip this page and return to your normal program! For those of you that are somewhat intimidated by HTML, fear no more - I will show you how to add some "custom" HTML and produce a FB report worthy of inclusion on your website (or someone elses)!
What I will do is provide some suggested HTML code snippents for you to cut, copy and paste (CC&P) from this page into the Optional HTML box.

Step One - Background Color
DXKeeper defaults to a white background color for the page. Personally, I like a bit of color, so this is how you change it! I would suggest staying with a light background as the text and other data generated by DXKeeper is black. I would suggest a light gray, light red, light green, light blue, light violet or a hue of yellow or orange.

<BODY bgcolor=#xxxxxx></BODY>

Choose a color from the color swatch guide below and then instead of the "#xxxxxx" in the example above, enter "#" (without the quotes) and the six character color code from the desired swatch, i.e. #FFFFFF for white.



Step Two - Additional Text

DXKeeper allows you to enter HTML code that will be executed before it runs the function to produce the neat table with all of your DXCC stats. You can specifiy some text that will be displayed above your stats - another way to personalize the page! Basically, you want to learn a couple of HTML commands <center> and <br>. To center the text on the page you use the command <center>text</center>. If you with to begin a new line, use the command <br>, i.e. <center>text<br>text</center>. There are additional command that allow you to make t ext bold, italic, different colors, etc., but if you are interested in more advanced HTML coding, I would suggest that you do a websearch or pick up a good book on HTML.

What you put in your additional text area is up to you, but you may want to let everyone know what application provided this report, as well as a link for them to get more information. Feel free to add the following snippet to yout custom code at the end.
