[FX.php List] Creating formatting from FX

[Glenn Singleton]

Steve,

Within FMP you could achieve this (I think) by exporting your data to  
a local html file (that already had a style sheet specified) and then  
viewing that file in Filemaker using the Web Viewer.

Am I right ? Never tried this with a CSS but I think should work.
