[CS4/JS] Import CALS-Tables with merged cells

Hello scripters.
I am actually trying to import CALS-tables (which is in my imported XML) into InDesign.
I used the convertElementToTable for this.
That worked, except for the merged cells (only cells which are merged to two or three columns).
How could I script the automatic generation for merged cells?
My xml-cals-table looks the following:
<example>
    <table class="n" width="600" border="0">
        <colgroup>
            <col width="35%"/>
            <col width="30%"/>
            <col width="35%"/>
        </colgroup>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="3">
                <ta>content content content content content content content content</ta>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td align="left" valign="top">
                <ta>content content content content </ta>
            </td>
            <td align="left" valign="top">
                <ta>content content </ta>
            </td>
            <td align="right" valign="top">
                <ta>content content </ta>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td align="left" valign="top">
                <ta>content content </ta>
            </td>
            <td align="left" valign="bottom">
                <ta>content content </ta>
            </td>
            <td align="right" valign="bottom">
                <ta>content content </ta>
            </td>
        </tr>

Help with merged cells in table

I'm just learning how to use Dreamweaver 8 and tables. I am
trying to use a table with merged cells filled with graphics --
only one graphic per cell. I make my jpg the size of my cell, which
it seems to fill. Then, when I upload it to view in browser, it
looks as though the graphic doesn't take up the entire cell. At one
point, it was working both in Dreamweaver and the browser. Now, in
the browser view, it looks as though there is extra space above the
graphic and below it. Any suggestions on what is going on???

It's not the use of tables with your graphics that is
necessarily the
problem, it's HOW you are using the tables with your
graphics. Can we see
the page you have built so we can examine the code?

Table cells - Problem with merged cells

Hi
I was experiencing very weird behavior with my tables until I realized that it was caused by merged cells
My script gives a dialog which allows the user to choose from which column to start and from which row.
As the script iterates through the cells in the selection I was getting weird results
Through using .select() function I was able to see that depending on the column, some times row 5 could be which seems to be row 3!
The reason was because of merged cells in that row
I.e., when some cells are merged together, only the first column of those merged cells is recognized - the others are not
so it comes out that when merging cells from column 3 to 5, column 3 has a cell in that row, columns 4 and 5 do not, and column 6 does!
Is there a way to get around this behavior?
Thanks
Davey

I don't understand the point of your post.
If you're trying to report a problem or "bug" with Pages, that is not the purpose of this user-to-user forum. You should leave feedback for the Pages team on this page.
I've not had a problem opening Word files with tables in Pages. If you're saying Word can't handle tables with merged cells, then don't use merged cells in files you are going to export as Word. Word & Pages must handle merged table cells differently, as I know both can do that. As far as RTF, Pages can open & export as RTF. Again, if you are going to export as RTF, don't use tables. Neither of these is a fault of Pages, just limitations of the formats/programs.

Import CALS table as Indesign Table

Hi All,

So it is transfered to table format, after finished the pagination, i want to export the xml file, now the formatting of the table cells (italic, bold, etc) are not coming properly. so i have troubled with this.
Can you help me!!!

Yes, that worked fine. But the small XML file below, containing some titles and a table, does not work. I assumed that I could drag and drop the <informaltable> element onto the page and get a rendered table.

How to hide rows with merged cells?

I would like to know how to hide rows on numbers with merged cells, could do it normally at excel but I am not being able to do it at Numbers.
thanks!

Felipe,
To hide a row with Merged Cells, Un-Merge first, then Hide. Select the Merged Cells and Table > Unmerge.
Note that this is only a problem with vertically merged cells when you want to Hide a Row.
If you want to Hide a Column, you can't have a Horizontal Merge that involves that Column.

How to Create a Table with Merge and partitions in HANA

Hi,
What is the best way to create a Table with MERGE and PARTITION and UNLOAD PRIORITIES.
Any body can you please give me some examples.
Regards,
Deva

Ok,
1) the UNLOAD PRIORITY has nothing to do with the order of data loads in your ETL process
2) Unloading of columns will happen automatically. Don't specify anything specific for the tables, then SAP HANA will take care about it
3) Not sure where you get your ideas from, but there is no need to manually "flush" tables or anything like that. SAP HANA will take care of memory housekeeping.
4) Partitioning and how to specify it for tables has been largely documented. Just read up on it.
5) Delta Merge will happen automatically, as long as you don't prevent it (e.g. by trying to outsmart the mergedog rules)
Seriously, I get the impressions that this list of requirements is based on some hear-say and lack of actual information and experience with SAP HANA. There are a couple of extensive discussions on data loading optimization available here in SCN and on SAPHANA.COM. Please read those first.
All this had been discussed broadly a couple of times.

Problem importing a table with blob's

hi all, I'm facing the following situation.
Source DB : 10.2.0.3 (client's DB)
Destination DB (mine): 10.2.0.4
I've a dump file (traditional) of a particular schema.
I'm running import (imp) to import on my DB.
It runs fine until it reaches one particular table. This table has 6 colums, 3 of them are BLOB.
This table has 260000 rows (checked with export log).
When import reaches row 152352 it stops loading data, but import is still running.
what can I do to get more information from this situation in order to solve this problem?
Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Pl identify the source and target OS versions. Are there any useful messages in the alert.log ? How long did the export take ? Rule of thumb states import will take twice as long. Have you tried expdp/impdp instead ? Also see the following -

Import of Tables with CLOB problem.

Hi,
I am having problems with the import of tables with CLOB columns.
Tables with CLOB columns will force the use of the tablespace in which it (table) was created originally. It will not be created on the new schema's default tablespace. Is there a way to get around this problem?
More on this problem can be found here :

Problem import excel table with photos

When I import excel table with photos, the photos don't appear

Welcome to Project Siena!
If you're seeing an 'x' instead of your photo in the data source it's possible that Project Siena can't access the directory. Try saving your images in another folder such as C:\Users\Public\Pictures.
Others have also reported that if the Library isn't set up correctly in Windows 8 that they've had issues.
Here are some posts to look at while we wait for additional information from you:
Importing local images via an Excel file
Siena Gallery unable to load image
Images in Public Pictures directories showing
up as X in Img from URL
(fyi - this last post's screenshot will look different than yours as it was from Beta 1.)

I want to create a mail merge for address labels into a table, but when I fill a table with merge fields, it ends up creating multiple entries for the same address, rather than one table full of each address.

...but when I fill a table with merge fields, it ends up creating multiple entries for the same address, rather than one table full of each address. Please help.

That is a quirk of Pagesthat it applies only one record per page.
There is a way around this:

How to import a table with renamed name

If I want to import a table from a DMP on UNIX towards my user where I already have a new version but I don't want to drop this new version 'cause I have only to move some records from one to the other, is there an import option for importing the table with another name? I mean I want to import on the same user, where there already exists the table MYTABLE, an old version of MYTABLE by impoting it with the new name MYTABLE_OLD, so afterwards I can update MYTABLE with some of old records of its old versione MYTABLE_OLD. Is it possible?

You cannot directly do this.
You can import the Table into a different schema and then rename the table.
export and import back into the required schema.

Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.

Hi guys n girls. How do you copy a whole table to create a new table with all cell sizes in tact? Thanks for your help. Jason.
when you copy n paste into a new table, all the cell sizes are changed.
is there a way to put in a new table from your templates into an existing file, different to the standard very basic ones in insert table.
I look forward to your answers. Your help is very much appreciated.
Also how do you search for question answers already written in this support area please.

Hi Jason,
In Numbers 3, you can select a whole table by clicking once in the table to make it active, then click once on the "bull's eye" at the top left.
Now copy and paste. All formatting (and any cell content) is pasted intact. In Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it is a little different for selecting a whole table. But I won't go into that unless you are using Numbers '09. Please reply.
I don't like the look of the tables in Insert Table. I keep custom tables in My Templates. I have set Numbers > Preferences > General > For New Documents > Use template: (name of my favourite custom template)
That opens when I launch Numbers, or ask for a new document (command n). Note that if you follow this preference setting, then Menu > File > New From Template Chooser (for another template) requires you to hold down the option key in that menu.
Regards,
Ian.

with

In ID: Import XML... selecting "Merge Content", "only import elements that match existing structure" & "import text elements into tables if tags match"
The cell with "Alcohol" updates, but the column widths don't change.
Is this by design?
When I select "Append Content" I get a (new) table with the formatting (column widths) as specified in the updated aid:ccolwidth and of course, the updated content. When merging content are you giving up all rights to updating formatting at the same time?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hello,
The existence check on the Salutation descriptor is likely check cache, as it is the default. Because of this, when you merge the Salutation with id=2, it will check the cache and not find it and so register it as a new object instead. You have 2 options, the first is to read it instead of creating it new. The second is to change your existence checking option so that it will either go tothe database or assume existence so that it is more appropriate for how you intend to use these types of objects in your mappings. For instance, if you never plan to create new ones, assume existence might be more appropriate.
I suspect though that for most applications, reading the object first is the best option performance wise.

Chris

Error while importing a table with BLOB column

Also tell me "whether the BLOB is stored in different tablespace than the default tablespace of the user?"
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
U can either
1) create a tablespace with the same name in destination where you are trying to import.
2) get the ddl of the table, modify the tablespace name to reflect the existing tablespace name in destination and run the ddl in the destination database, and run your import command with option ignore=y--> which will ignore all the create errors.

Fireworks Imports - Replacing Tables with Divs

Hi folks,
I love Fireworks to bits but it's intergration with DW is slowly driving me nuts.
Take a look at the code for www.total-formula1.com
I've imported a nav section, top bar and footer from Fireworks - which (IMHOP) look great until you look at the code.
Then it becomes a mess of tables and spacer gif's.
I've tried importing as CSS with images but it looses behaviours.
Am I kidding myself. Do I have to split it all up and use DW to perform rollovers?
Thoughts, help or a loaded shotgun welcome.

Fireworks CSS and Images export does not support Javascript. Same with States, if I recall. CSS and Images will not export out anything but the current state. You would have to add that code (CSS or JS) in by using Dreamweaver or another editor.
If properly set up, you may be able to export the entire page as CSS and images, then only have to add in the CSS to create the mouseover effect, after they've been exported as graphics.
