Fix Column width in tables

Question

Hi,
Anyone of you please update the script for the below requirement.
var doc = app.activeDocument, 
    w = doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth; 
    sel = doc.selection[0];
    if(sel instanceof Table) 
            var col = sel.columns; 
                _left = sel.parent.parentPage.marginPreferences.left; 
                _right = sel.parent.parentPage.marginPreferences.right, allcolwidth = 0; 
            for(var i=1;i<col.length;i++) 
                    var cell = col[i].cells, cont = ""; 
                    for(var j=0;j<cell.length;j++) 
                            cont += cell[j].contents; 
                    if(cont == "") 
                            col[i].width = "1p"; 
                            allcolwidth += col[i].width; 
                    else if(cont.indexOf("$") !=-1) 
                            col[i].width = "1p"; 
                            allcolwidth += col[i].width; 
                    else if(cont.indexOf("*") !=-1) 
                            col[i].width = "1p"; 
                            allcolwidth += col[i].width; 
                    else if(cont.indexOf("%") !=-1) 
                            col[i].width = "1p"; 
                            allcolwidth += col[i].width; 
                   else if(cont.indexOf(")") !=-1) 
                            col[i].width = "1p"; 
                            allcolwidth += col[i].width; 
                    else 
                            col[i].width = "5p"; 
                            allcolwidth += col[i].width; 
                            for(var k=0;k<col[i].cells.length;k++) 
                                    if(col[i].cells[k].contents !="") 
                                            var paras = col[i].cells[k].paragraphs; 
                                            for(var l=0;l<paras.length;l++) 
                                                    paras[l].justification = Justification.RIGHT_ALIGN; 
            col[0].width = w - _left - _right - allcolwidth; 
    else 
            alert("Select a table...") 
All tables in a document:
1) All $, %, ), columns should be fixed width “1p”
2) All empty column should be “1p”
3) All superscript content column like [1, (1), *] should be “1p”
4) Remaining all columns (except first column) should be “6p” width and values are right aligned
5) First column always variable width
6) All underlines values should be 0.5 bottom border, border only need ‘$’ column and ‘value’ column (not in ‘)’ ‘%’ 1, (1), *) columns.
7) Also table should be fit within text area (100%)
The below script is working fine but it missed the requirements for (point no 3 and 6).
Sometimes empty columns are not converted into "1p" because of spanning (see the below table), Can you please ignore the spanned columns while running the script or put any input dialogue box for "number of rows to ignore".

Please do not post drive-by follow-ups to random ancient threads. The Column Width property referred to was introduced in APEX 4.0 in June 2010, 2 months after this thread originated. Whilst the new information might be useful for someone using APEX 4.0 who finds this thread in a search, this question occurs in hundreds of other threads: are you going to update all of them?
And the Column Width property is in the Column Definition section of the column attributes...
