HTML Dashboard - Scrolling to the right
After some attempts, I managed to setup an HTML dashboard with options which link up to 3 depths inside. The initial homepage html links, for some icons, to internal html pages. Linking works OK, the code needs serious work for beauty and convenience, but I am encountering a problem I hadnt imagined.
Even though I have added the small piece of code for better view at any device, as per Andromo suggestion in the html activity description, my pages do not display ok. What they do is icons sort themselves nicely, but the small text I added to describe each icon will only show after a scroll to the right. The page does not sort itself to fit the mobile screen.
I do not know how it happens and why, but I will describe what I did in case you find out a mistake on my part. I setup a table with 2 columns (one is the icon, the second is the description) and 9-10 rows for the various pages. The descriptions column cannot be viewed unless user scrolls to the right.
Can you help me sort this out please?
PS Any chance you can tell me how to add a small banner on top, similar to what andromo sets for about us pages?

I have fixed some issues and created other problems.
The scrolling to the right got fixed by setting table size as 100% width and height as auto.
The top banner was set too, but the background seems to go around it and to the top - so its not looking good.
Plus there's more problems with the icons and the titles - they just look awful; the icon description cannot stay on the right of icon and if I put it at the bottom it seems out of place. They might put themselves in the center of the device screen, but I just dont like the result aesthetically.
Do you use some html codes site which gives you decent results on a modified dashboard?
Do you use some tricks which could help me (and are you willing to share them?)
Any chance you can share some html code for a top banner, 4-5icons and descriptions and a background? I would have something to work with by editing it and learning in the process too. If I am asking for too much you can disregard this.
Thanks anyway for your patience and time
I need 2 activities with HTML archives, in which I will link to external websites and pdf/excel files which I also include in the zip. In bluestacks where I experimented with them, the linking on the pdf/excel files does not work (error: wrong path or "There was a network error") but it works as it should when I run the html file locally.
Code of linking is as follows:
<a href=" moria2014.xls";>Points 2014 (excel)</a>
Error message: The webpage at file:///android_asset/html12636/index/moria2014.xls might be temporarily down or it may have moved...blahblah
The file moria2014.xls is in same folder as the html file. I got same problem with the pdf, but I DON'T want to use the pdf activity.
Moreover, how can I link to websites in a way which will load the default browser instead of running it inside the app? The target=_blank command is enough?
Hope you can help me a bit.
In browser it works, in app it doesn't
The second gives a link which cannot load and is file:///moria.xls
The first gives a network error trying to reach file:///android_asset/Htgml12636/moria.xls
Will try that too, thanks again.
I click the link (the first link version), WPS (office files handler) opens up but says no file or unable to open.
@tamworthheat Definitely worth a try! Thanks
Excel is a bit more decent, but of course loses formulas and all.
I have posted in Support regarding this matter, because if it really isn't possible I need to take some other approach.

Can you please tell me if a custom html dashboard can display admob ads (maybe andromo adds them below the archived html?)
