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.

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.

[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>

Unable to merge cells in Table(WAD)

HI Gurus,
I am working on BI7.0,
I am trying to create Web Templates to display reports in portal for that
I have selected Table (rows and coloms), When I try to merge first two cells
(to write descritpion of query) it is not allowing me to merge.
Can anybody suggest me how to merge two cells in table.
Thanks in advance.

If you're talking simply about merging the cells in an HTML table, then you use the COLSPAN or ROWSPAN options in HTML.
Check out the following
<html>
<body>
    <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
            <td>
                Heading 1</td>
            <td>
                Heading 2</td>
            <td>
                Heading 3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2">
                Text covering 2 cells</td>
            <td>
                Last cell</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td rowspan="2">
                Text covering 2 cells across 2 rows</td>
            <td>
                Text in cell 2 row 2</td>
            <td>
                Text in cell 3 row 2</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                Text in cell 2 row 3</td>
            <td>
                Text in cell 3 row 3</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
Take the above code and put it in a simple HTML file and run that file in your browser, you should then be able to see how COLSPAN and ROWSPAN work.
COLSPAN=2 means that the cell spans 2 columns. Similary, COLSPAN=3 would then span 3 columns.
Remember though that when you set COLSPAN=2, you will need 1 less TD in that row, otherwise you end up with an extra cell in that row which makes your table look all messy.
Now, in your template, get into the XHTML view, find the table, and set the COLSPAN / ROWSPAN accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Andrew

How to merge cells in tables if SmartForms like colspan/rowspan in HTML

Hi!
Is it possible to merge cells in a tables in SmartForms like colspan/rowspan parameters in HTML?
Both horisontal and vertical merging needed both in header and in body of the table.
Thanks!

No it is not possible.
For merging purpose we have to create seperate windows for that col or rows.

How can I hide columns that has rows with merged cells?

I'm making a schedule on Numbers and there are couple of rows that are one cell (merged).
Because of this reason when I select a column to hide, it's not just the column that is being selected but the column and the all the merged cells that goes across the row. I would like to hide selected column to print different columns. Please help me! thank you!

There is even more powerful tip.
Double click in a cell
Show Rulers
Insert a "center tab"
move it to the right edge of the cell
type option + tab then your wanted string.
You will get that :
Add this tip to the drawbacks of merged cells and you will understand why I never used them.
Yes, it may be surprising but the right tab belongs to the cell D2 !

Print ALV with merged cells

Hi all,
I have a requirement to print an ALV grid display exactly in the same format as we see in output. That is, if the cells are merged in ALV then in Print also they should come as merged.
But when I am printing the ALV output it does not give merged cells. I am using OO ALV.
Is my requirement feasible. If yes, Please help me to proceed?
Thanks,
Daya

Hi Daya,
In the ALV grid control print or print preview, cells that have identical content are not merged. This is necessary in order to be able to distinguish between blank cells and cells that only become blank after merging. The standard behaviour for the different ALV lists is described in Note 447055.

Help with Merging Two Accounts....

Hi,
We ended up with two my Best Buy accounts.
I called up and talked with someone, who said they would merge the accounts....
A few hours later, when I logged in, the website said I had two accounts and to choose one to view.
That lasted for about 4 days,
Then, the website didn't ask anymore and just logged into one account ... which I thought meant the merge had occured.
HOWEVER, none of the purchases on the"other" account are on the primary account, which was the point of te

Hi scXenon,
I used the email address you registered with the forum to review your information, and I do see that you currently have two active My Best Buy™ accounts. If the primary information shared between the two accounts matches, then we should have no problem merging them. That process would involve closing one account, and then moving any unused points/certificates from the closed account to the active primary account.
I do see that you have an open case with our Account Maintenance department and I trust that they will be able to help successfully merge your accounts; however, I am going to send you a private message to see if there is anything I can help with. To check your private messages, you would want to login to the forum and click on the yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page.

Help with merged clip decision for a short film

Greetings and thanks in advance for any perspective you can offer.
I've begun to edit a short film (10 minutes) that has 3 hours of dailies. The clips are all merged clips, created with dual system audio and synced with Plural Eyes 3.
However, before setting to what's sure to be months of work, I wonder if there was a better workflow. Bear with me. To begin with, marker comments do not stick with merged clips. As soon as you select another clip - poof! They're gone. And there are other limitations that may or may not affect me down the road. I guess I'm saying I'm not completely sure what I might want or need to do at some point, but I'm concerned that I'll be limited for using merged clips.
I've realized I can use Plural Eyes to merge my clips and audio fully outside of Premiere CC. Those clips, once imported, retain marker comments and suffer no other "unique" limitations.
It will be a massive undertaking to resync, re-import, and retag and organize everything - but perhaps in the long haul this is prudent? Or not?
I'm cutting with Prores 422 at full size 4K, so replacing media isn't a concern. Anything else I should be worried about? There's always a chance I'll use a 3rd party to color-correct with a DaVinci.
Thanks again.

I shoot for about -6dB, with no peaks above 0dB.
Sounds like you have a very weak signal. I'd set away from PrPro and handle this in SB, or Audition. Listen carefully with a good pair of noise-canceling headphones first, and then test on monitors.
Are you working in mono, stereo or 5.1 SS?
Good luck,

Help with creating a custom table cell editor?

hi, i was reading up on various tutorials and trying to write codes that pops up a simple calendar when clicked on text of the Date class in a table, so far, i can't seem to get my classes working.. the following is some classes i've written for this task (note, there are alot of commented out lines, those are the modifications done to the tutorial classes in http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/)

          curDate = date;
}

well, i have indeed narrowed down my problem after some digging around.. one thing i discovered that i don't need CalendarRenderer.java.. and i found out i don't really know what does
//Implement the one method defined by TableCellEditor.
     public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
          curDate = (String)value; return button;
     }do, as it seems to be the problem:

Need Help with giving Colors to Table Cells and Table Borders in Dreamweaver CC - Please!

Hi,
I am a teacher and use Dreamweaver CC to make my class web page.
How do I give colors to the cell borders of a table I inserted? How do I give colors and line thickness
to table borders, too?
I bought the David Powers DVD and it doesn't show that.
Please help.
Thank you,
John

Assuming that you have placed a table in your document and your CSS Designer panel is open
1. Click the '+' sign
2. Choose your option. I will choose 'Define in Page'
3. Follow the above sequence, 1.click on table, 2.ensure table is selected, 3.click on style, 4.click the '+' sign, 5. see the selector appear.
4. Click on the selector and choose the required Properties.
You can do the same for the row (<tr>) or a cell (<td>). In fact, this is how you would go about styling anything in your document.

Student in need of help (Trouble merging cells in CS3)

I am currently attending college, pursuing a degree in computer systems. One of the required courses is web design. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, and lets just say, I don't particularly like it.
Our instructor wants us to familiarize ourselves with Dreamweaver by building a basic page using tables.
His required outline is this : http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3855/pagedesign.png
Now, to start, I have no problem creating the table. That is easy. The problem I have is shaping everything to look like that picture. I've been trying to do this with a 7 x 10 table.
My technique so far has been to merge all of the cells on the top row for text1, then I Merge all of the cells for the borders on the far left and the far right. After that, I merge the cells necessart for text2. Again, no problems so far. After I have merged the cells for text2, I create the border directly to the left of Page Name and Graphic1 by merging the cells, then I merge the cells for Page Name. Once again, no problems so far. After that, I merge the cells for graphic1, and then create seperator between graphic1, and graphic2. Once I have done that, I merge the cells for Text3.
Now, here is where I run into problems. When I merge the cells for graphic2, I hope to get the result that is in that image, however, instead of getting that result, the cell shrinks. Some things I have already tried to remedy this problem (keep in mind, I am completely new to this, so in all reality, I have no clue what I'm doing):
1. I tried deleting the table, redoing it, but starting from the bottom, going up. With this strategy, instead of graphic2 giving me a problem, the seperator between graphic1 and graphic2 shrunk in height but expanded in width.
2. I tried simply resizing the cell through the properties manager. This did not work at all. When I entered the value, value vanished.
3. I tried messing around with the resizing tool, but that did no good as it cannot change just one cell. It changes all the cells on the table.
4. I tried inserting new rows/columns and remerging the cells according to the new rows/columns I entered. This did not work at all.
So, that is my problem. I wish I could give a graphical image of the problem (Like a before and after picture) but unfortunatley I am not in class right now and that is the only place I have access to dreamweaver. I have asked my instructor about this problem and he told me to try and insert text or an image into the cell so it would not resize. He has made it clear that he cannot step by step instructions because we have to figure it out on our own. I can understand where is coming from but in the same respect, I don't feel as if I am gaining any kind of knowledge as to how to use dreamweaver.
Whoever could help me with this problem: It would be greatly appreciated. I hate falling behind in class and that is why I feel is happening right now because I cannot get past this part. Another student attempted to help me but he couldn't figure it out either, even after he reconstructed the page himself on another computer without any problem.
Thank you again for whoever helps. If you have any questions about my problem, feel free to post it here. Thanks again

I was bored and feeling generous...lol I thin this code will create the table layout your looking for. I will express my distain for tables used for page layouts, as they are not standard anymore. But you do have to follow your instructors lead. Anyway, here is the code.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
<table border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
    <td colspan="6">text1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="2" rowspan="7"> </td>
    <td colspan="4">text2</td>
    <td width="18" rowspan="7"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="14" rowspan="3"> </td>
    <td colspan="3">page name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="68" rowspan="2">graphic1</td>
    <td width="6" rowspan="3"> </td>
    <td height="57">text3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="64" rowspan="2">graphic2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td colspan="2">blank space</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td colspan="4">text4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td colspan="4">text5</td>
</tr>
</table>
Hope that works for you. hmmm this forum is so buggy. I inserted raw code...maybe the wrong thing to do. Trying again.

Need Quick Help with Unordered List in Table (text too small)

Hi,
I have a table with 2 unordered lists and the font size is smaller than what I need.
I'm using CSS and have checked all of my font sizes and I have all of what I consider my normal text set to 12.
When my client views the page on his browser, the unordered lists appears to be about a size 8. I checked on my cell phone and I see what he's talking about.
I set the <ul> and <li> to font size 12, but the problem still exists.
It's almost like the table is scaling the text down.
I worked all night trying to figure out what I've done wrong (newbie ) and I can't fix it and my client is waiting!
Here's the page: http://www.precisioncleaning.com/expert_witness_services.html
Please help!
Thanks,
Kathy

I tried adding a new CSS rule to the table font, but it didn't work.
I also edited the <tr> and <td> but still didn't work.
I think something higher up is messing the table up. I don't know anything about specificity or how to see who has the power to overwrite the table.
Do you?
