[Tip] Using graphics in table column headers

Sometimes a graphic says so much more than words. Especially when you're reduced to using a single letter in a table column header because the column is so narrow.

Today a user at a client site asked me if I could replace the single letters -- "C", "P" and "E" -- I had above the checkbox columns with some graphics. For some reason the idea had never occurred to me before.

As it turns out, it is quite easy using html in the text property of the field. A nice surprise!

<html>
			  <head>
			  </head>
			  <body>
			    <img height="12" src="media:///mail_16.gif" width="12">
			  </body>
			</html>
