How important spacer.gif within table empty cell?

I've always used a spacer image (or  ) within an empty cell over the years to keep consistency between browsers, and that it was recommended. Has anyone seen any stats on this in recent times? I'm curious which recent versions of browsers still have problems with this and if it's still that important to do so.
One reason I ask is I'm needing several 1px height black table cells and it'd be nice if I didn't have to keep putting a 1x1 spacer within each empty cell. With my tests, I've check with several most recent browsers and they all render an empty black 1px height cell the same.
Thanks.

I don't know what kind of look your going for, but i wonder if you could achieve the same effect by using CSS to put a 1 pixel black border on something.
I've found that with IE6 something needs to be in a cell for it to be affected by css. For example, if i use css to place a black border around all table cells IE6 won't apply the border to empty cells. Instead of putting a spacer image in the cell i use a non-blanking space ";nbsp".

  • How to export data within tables in Oracle 10g

    Since I'm using Oracle 10g, thus I wanted to know that do I have the option for exporting data from one table to another or exporting the whole table to some another databases like SQL Server or any other database.

    There are several options, each has different advantages and disadvantages. When both source and target are Oracle;
    1. you can use database links across databases -
    http://psoug.org/reference/db_link.html
    2. you can unload to external tables after 10g and load from external table -
    http://tonguc.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/unload-data-with-external-tables-and-data-pump/
    3. you can use data pump(expdp/impdp) after 10g -
    http://psoug.org/reference/datapump.html
    http://psoug.org/reference/dbms_datapump.html
    4. you can use traditional export(exp) and import(imp) -
    http://psoug.org/reference/export.html
    http://psoug.org/reference/import.html
    5. you can unload to text with an unloader and use sql*loader to load -

    for some options you may get the meta information(all table related DDLs) with supplied package DBMS_METADATA;
    http://psoug.org/reference/dbms_metadata.html
    When source is Oracle 10g and target is non-Oracle you may unload to text from Oracle and use the related text loader utility supplied with the other vendor.
    Also Heterogeneous Connectivity is another option between Oracle and non-Oracle systems;

  • Remove All InDex Markers in empty cells

    I have a doc with lots of tables & empty cells. Each empty cells have an index markers in it and I need to remove all of them.
    The find/change replacing  '^I' by '' (nothing) don’t remove them.
    Is their a way to remove all Index Markers via a script?
    Jean-Claude

    Can you send an example idml or inx?
    Otherwise perhaps you can try something like this:
    var aDoc = app.documents[0]; 
    var allTables = aDoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
    app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "<FEFF>";
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "";
    aDoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().changeText();
    app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
    alert("done");
    This is a part of a script written by Uwe Laubender. I think this could help you.

  • How can I add a character globally to empty cells in an InDesign table?

    Hi Jarek,
    Unfortunately I'm still getting the same "no tables found in the active document" message after modifying it the way you instructed.
    Here's my current code. Hopefully you'll be able to detect my problem. I greatly apologize for my ineptitude in javascript

  • How can I add dots after text to fill the remaining space in a table cell?

    What is the most efficient way to add dots after text to fill the remaining space in a table cell? I know it is possible using tabs but is this possible using a table?

    You can put a tab inside a table cell using Option+Tab
    Then just set the right-aligned tab stop and the right edge of the table cell and add the leader.

  • How to manage the space between a table and its title?

    Have tables where titles are very close to the main text and need a couple of points to separate these elements. How to reshape this space?
    1. Titles were separated by a return that is not  visible...  (any code is revealed by ID)
    2. When a Return is inserted after the title, nothing happens aparently, but this return is now visible and could be used as a «paragraph space after» value:
    3. A solution could be Grep to catch the end of paragraph assigned to titles to insert a return;
    but Grep only catches the right border of the table (the yellow mark shows the big blinking cursor);
    Grep cannot see the end of paragraph in the tables's title.
    It another method?
    Basically, how to modify the space between a table and ists title

    I think you and Bob are not in synch here.
    Bob suggested that you could use paragraph spacing, but for that to work you do need to use separate paragraphs for the title and table, which you don't seem to be doing. Using GREP to find the end of the paragraph only works if there IS and end to the paragraph. As far as I know there is now meta-character to use in Find/Change that would allow you to find a table and insert a paragraph break ahead of it, but I bet it could be scripted.
    I'm not quite sure what you were trying to find in the GREP you posted. Did you actually have a paragraph return inserted already after the title? In that case you only need to redefine the style for that paragraph to add the space (or redefine the style for the paragraph that holds the table itself). You don't need the GREP. But the reason it does nothing is that you've found a location -- the end of the paragraph, but haven't found any actual text to modify. To do anything you would need to use something like .$
    But back to NOT having a separate paragraph... If you put the cursor in any table cell and go to Table Options > Table Setup tab you'll see fields to set space before and after the table that should do what you want. That was the second part of what he posted.

  • Notes within table cells

    I made a large table where each cell contains a number indicating
    the level of a parameter.
    Some of these cells would need an explanation. And I'd like to put this
    explanation outside of the table so as to keep it filled with
    numeric values. I thought that a note would be the perfect tool to make
    this kind of table explanation.
    Hence I tried to insert a footnote within a cell,
    but the menu stay as grey as deaf.
    It doesn't even give me the smallest word of explanation about
    this error or inability.
    I didn't find any help on how to insert a footnote within a table cell?
    Is it prohibited?
    Why?

  • How do I create a JTable with some empty cells in it?

    I have a three column JTable. The first column is a String showing description. The second column contains numbers (double) and the third column also contains numbers. In some cases not all cells in a row should contain data. So for instance, I could have row one showing only description (a String in the first column), and then row two showing description (a String in the first column) and a number (a double in the second column) in columns one and two respectively. My problem is that, the data gets copied from the cells with data to the cells which are supposed to be empty. So, how do I create a JTable with some empty cells in it.

    I have tried empty strings for those values, but it did not work. My table puts objects in an arraylist called reconciliation. The arraylist takes different objects with the same super class. The code below explains. Are you suggesting I pass null to my constructor?
    JTable table = new JTable(new ReconTableModel());The method below is from the table model
    protected  List<Reconciliation> reconciliation = new ArrayList<Reconciliation>();
    protected void fillModel(){
          reconciliation.add(new CashBook("Cash Book Report"," "," "));
          reconciliation.add(new CheckingBankAccount("Checking Bank Account"," "," "));
          reconciliation.add(new BankBalance("Bank Balance As Per Bank Statement",500," "));
          reconciliation.add(new PaymentVouchers("Payment Voucher Receipt",300," "));
          reconciliation.add(new DepositVoucher("Deposit Voucher Receipt",1000," "));
          reconciliation.add(new ReconciledBalance("Reconcilied Bank Balance",1200," "));
          reconciliation.add(new BalanceAt("Bank Balance At",800," "));
          reconciliation.add(new Difference("Difference",400," "));
          Collections.sort( reconciliation, new Comparator<Reconciliation>(){
          public int compare( Reconciliation a, Reconciliation b) {
            return a.getTransactionName().compareTo( b.getTransactionName());
      }

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."
