Can't format tables anymore in a CSS layout

Why can't I insert a regular table, and be able to select a
cell, row, column, whatever, and change the cell color like I did
before CSS? If I have a DIV, I'm supposed to be able to insert
regular html content inside it, right?
I have a DIV with a red background color set. I insert a
small table for some data, and the table punches a hole
(figuratively speaking) in the red background. Okay, I try to color
the table background cells red, and it doesn't matter. I then setup
a style sheet (class) just for that one table, and give it a red
background, and again, no go.
I'm about ready to abandan CSS for layout, I really am. There
are no declarations in my body tags or anywhere else that says what
to do with a table.
What do I have to do to be able to color cells and format a
table like non-css pages? I have many legacy sites with charts and
data in regular tables (I'm not talking about for layout, but for
regular tabular data), and when I try to copy and paste these into
a new page, the table and data comes, but all the coloring is gone.
This seems very dumb. Any insights?

Copy and paste the following into a new DW page - you will
see that you can
have coloured cells and or rows. At least that's what I
believe you are
trying to do.

Can't make tables anymore...

I have used MX for about 5 years, but I am not a power user
by any means. Just this week I was making web pages just fine.
Then, I must have hit something because I can no longer insert a
table. The button is not grayed out. It acts like something should
happen under Insert-Table, but nothing does. I am in standard view
and not layout view. I can copy a table in and modify it just fine,
I just can't put in a new table. What have I done?

What happens when you try to insert a table? Anything?
You've restarted the machine?
I'd say rename the Configuration folder for You as a User and
let dw build a
fresh one.
the folder locations are in the middle of this article

How can I format-table with two different variables

I have a script who's purpose is to go through all the mailboxes in exchange and look for any with SG_ or Group listed in the Full Access Permissions. The script works though I'm having trouble formatting the data in a way that I can use it in Excel.
Ultimately I'd like it to report the Name of the mailbox and the name of the entry listed in the Full Access Permissions that has SG_ or Group in the name. Currently the output is the name of the mailbox and then on a separate line the full name of the security
group.
I'm trying to have it so that each part is in it's own column. That will make it easy to review in excel.
$Grabmailbox = Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited
foreach ($mailbox in $Grabmailbox){
$Getpermission = Get-MailboxPermission $mailbox | where { ($_.User -like "corp\SG_*") -or ($_.User -like "corp\*_group") }
if ($Getpermission -ne $null) {
echo "$mailbox + "$Getpermission | FT User |Out-File c:\Script\VerifiedSG.txt -Append
else{
echo "$mailbox + No SG detected" | Out-File c:\Script\VerifiedSG.txt -Append

Hi Yan,
Thanks for the response but what I am looking for is even simpler than that.
The script goes through every mailbox we have.
It checks the Full Access Permissions for anything with SG_ or group listed in the Full access permissions.
It then should write out to a file the name of the mailbox and the entry in the Full access permissions that contains SG_ or _Group
so something like this:
Mailbox Name <---New ColumN--->Entry
Mailbox1<---New ColumN--->SG_Mailbox1
Ignore the <---New ColumN---> as I simply put that in to emphasize space between the two columns.

Can I Transform tables into CSS or other formats?

Hi.
I've got a big site that was created in GoLive. All the pages make extensive use of tables due to the way GoLive worked its wysiwyg layouts.
I'm not a programmer but I did know how to create decent looking pages that way. Now I've got DW and want to make changes to the pages. Now these pages all look like tables and I can't just drag and drop to move things around.
Is there some way in DW to change all these tables into a form where I can manipulated them easily? I'm just learning about CSS. Is that the way to go?
Of course any new pages I'll create with CSS, but I still need to work with lots of these older pages.
Thanks.

Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does?

I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does? The usb ports of the mac mini can still see my other drives formated with FAT32.

Thanks, it is working now, after I have installed NTFS3G.
I did not format the drive. I was using it as purchased to do backups for a while. After the corporate backup system was working correctly again I was using the disk at home for my homevideos. Since the corporate backup was running correctly for ten days in a row, I have decided to delete those backupfiles on the usb drive. Each backup was a folder consisting of almost 30GB data, mirroring the servers harddrive which is running on windows xp. After I have deleted those folders, only the video files remaind and I could not open the drive on the macmini anymore.

Commands / Format Table, what happened

In Dreamweaver 2004, under the Commands menu was: Format
Table.
Now, In DW CS3, I don't see that command.
Where do I find it?
thanks,

You are correct, but would it have killed them to leave it?
Why not remove
Tables all together?

Combine Columns From Separate Arrays Into One Formatted Table

What I'm trying to do is make two WMI queries with 2 different classes for a list of machines and then patch the columns together into one single array that is formatted as a table with columns and rows. I seem to keep banging my head against the wall and
I can't help but feel that the answer is simple. I can certainly create an array that contains all 3 columns (such as in the commented out part) but no matter which angle I go at it, it always seems to end up as all the data in one single row in each column
rather than a nicely formatted table. I've even tried constructing separate custom objects and adding the different objects to the array but that's obviously not working. Below is the code of the last thing I tried. I need someone to bash it to death and tell
me the (most likely obvious) thing that I'm doing wrong. Thanks!
$failedos = @()
$failedcs = @()
$ccs = get-adcomputer -property operatingsystem -filter {name -like "*-CC*"} | select name | sort name
$cs = foreach ($cc in $ccs){$cc.name | % {if ($c=get-wmiobject -computername $cc.name -class win32_computersystem -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){$c | select @{Name="Name";Expression={$_.Name}}, @{Name="Model";Expression={$_.Model}}} else {$failedcs += "$_"}}}
$os = foreach ($cc in $ccs){$cc.name | % {if ($o=get-wmiobject -computername $cc.name -class win32_operatingsystem -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){$o | select @{Name="OperatingSystem";Expression={$_.caption}}} else {$failedos += "$_"}}}
#[array]$osprops = @{'Name'=$cs.Name;'Model'=$cs.Model;'OperatingSystem'=$os.OperatingSystem}
$result = @()
Foreach ($Line in $cs) {
$MyCustomObject = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
Add-Member -InputObject $MyCustomObject -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Name" -Value $Line.name -Force
Add-Member -InputObject $MyCustomObject -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Model" -Value $Line.Model -Force
$result += $MyCustomObject
foreach ($Line2 in $os) {
$MyCustomObject2 = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
Add-Member -InputObject $MyCustomObject2 -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "OperatingSystem" -Value $Line2.OperatingSystem -Force
$result += $MyCustomObject2

Any help?

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

Css layout problems - css and tables

Hi guys,
Well as some of you suggested months ago, I've been trying to
learn to layout with CSS... It's actually getting a bit rewarding
now as I start to figure a few things out but there's still plenty
of questions!!!
If anyone can take a look at what I'm working on at the
moment and give me some help I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it!!
My main trouble (I think) is working with a drop-down menu
system that I found on the web and I'm dying to use it because it's
perfect for this design. It's layed out using a table so I'm trying
to incorporate that...
Click
[url=http://home.iprimus.com.au/jediwdog/ltc/mockup2.jpg]here[/url]
for a picture of what i'm trying to get this page to look like and
[url=http://home.iprimus.com.au/jediwdog/ltc/example1.html]here[/url]
to see how far I've got. You can download the stylesheet from
[url=http://home.iprimus.com.au/jediwdog/ltc/example1.css]here[/url].
Here's what I need to know:
1. I'm trying to push the table down so it looks better lined
up with the logo but when I tell it to be further from the top, it
doesn't seem to move. Any ideas on why?
2. As you can see, I've inserted some blank space into the
middle of the menu so that the logo doesn't cover any of the menu
items. I can't seem to get the same 1px black border on this
section.
I assume this is because the border on the other parts is a
layer/div border? Will I have to somehow put a div in there so as
to create the same border effect?
3. I'd really like to keep the header and footer visible at
all times, even if there's lots of content to scroll through. I
found this:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/basics2.html#Top
but when I tried to implement this on my page, it all went haywire!
Is this going to be a possibility?
4. I guess other than that, have I completely stuffed this
up!? I don't think I have but it's worth asking I guess!
THANKS IN ADVANCE! I'm really loving using css layout rather
than tables - it's soooo much more versatile. I just need to get
past some obstacles I think!
Cheers
Neil

Why i can't see table, image, attacth files in meeting request mail.

Hi, I'm Narongdech
i have a little question in outlook 2013. Why i can't see table, image, attacth files in meeting request mail. i try make a new meeting request for my partner. but them can't see new mail in the correct format.
below,This is a image in my outlook 2007. i try to make this format. Please Help me, and let me know that.
Thank you.

Hi Narongdech,
What’s your Exchange server version? I have tested to send a meeting request to my colleague with a table, a PNG picture and a word attachment in my Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2010 environment. And it can be viewed well.
Please check whether the issue happens to all Outlook 2013 users or some specific ones. We can close Outlook and send a meeting request with pictures and attachments in OWA to have a test. If the OWA test returns everything is OK, the issue may be related
to Outlook client. Please run Outlook in safe mode and disable all related mail software to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

hi everyone
i need help
How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
• In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
• In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

Css layout or style sheet not showing table layout

When I was working on my website I noticed that my tables don't show up in the browser of my site, they do however, show up in the dreamweaver design so I am wondering if when I was making changes somehow to the site if something in the css layout or style sheet got deleted. Could someone please take a look at it and please tell me what needs to be fixed, I am not at all familiar with css so I need all the help I can get on this here is the link. Thank you! http://angelcoilbartlett.com/index.html

In your HTML document in Code View, remove the following embedded CSS code. This is competing with external style sheet code and causing your site havoc. In the future, don't create any more new styles. You don't need them. Stick with the established styles set up by the original designer and you will have way fewer problems.
DELETE ALL OF THIS NONSENSE:
<style type="text/CSS>

</style>
If you want to continue working with web pages, you owe it to yourself and your employer to learn basic HTML and CSS so you can get yourself out of jam when things go wrong.
