Individual Cell Width?

I am trying to change the width of a individual cell within a
table in Dreamweaver 8, however when I click and drag to change the
width, it also grabs the cell above it, changing both cells,
however I only want to have the width of one cell changed.
I know that to do it in Microsoft products, you select the
one cell, but I have great difficulty to select an individual cell
in Dreamweaver and do not think it works anyway.
Please could someone tell me how to do it please? Thank you
n.b. I am a designer, and would prefer to know via designing
techniques

That's not how cells in a HTML table work.
You can try splitting your cell(s) and see how that works.

  • Individual Cell Widths

    Hi,
    I have menu titles with variable lengths. I found a thread that taught me how to switch the width to auto which was helpful. I would, however, like to increase the margain or padding in the cells. When I try in ul.menubarhorizontal, the padding and margians are meaningless. Can someone direct me to complete this?
    Thanks
    Robert

    OOPS,
    I now am seeing the gaps. I had previously created the div and then placed the menu in the div. They are the same size. The div has a background color. In DW preview, it appears fine butr int he browser preview, the gaps are present despite the background in the div.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Tables (Individual Cells) & CSS

    I have a table in my webpage, which has 1 row and 5 columns
    (just 5 cells within the table), when I select the whole table, and
    apply the Style sheet, I get this code, I understand
    why it is doing that, but the reason I provided this, was
    because when I did the first method (applying it to the
    whole table, nothing would show in the browser, just the
    defaulted background etc.., however when I applied it to each
    individual cell, it would show in the browser, any reasons to this?
    Thanks:
    <tr class="navigationBar">
    <td width="20%" height="33"><div
    align="center"><a
    href="index.html">Home</a></div></td>
    <td width="20%" height="33"><div

    <td width="20%" height="33"><div

    Us</a></div></td>
    </tr>
    However, if I click each individual cell (Ctrl + Click), then
    apply the style sheet, I get this code:
    <tr>
    <td width="20%" height="33"
    class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a

    </tr>
    p.s. sorry the code has been copied and pasted in, I could
    not get the 'Attach Code" to work!

    In the first case the class is applied to <tr>, which
    cannot show a
    background image in IE. In the second case, the class is
    applied to each
    individual cell, which can show the background image. In
    fact, in neither
    case did you apply the class to the whole table (i.e., the
    <table> tag).

  • Problem with Characteristic cell width

    Hi All,
    I'm struggling to get the characteristic cell width using the table interface to work correctly.
    I have coded the following in CHARACTERISTIC_CELL in the table interface :
    move 'style="width:230px"' to c_cell_td_extend.
    This appears to work in the Dev system but moving to production, it no longer applies and the charcteristic cells are the size of the values from the queries.
    Would anyone have had this same prob or an idea of how to force the charcteristic cells to be the width I want them ?
    The reason I am doing this is because I need to place multiple table results above one another and when I remove the cell headings the columns misalign ...
    Thanks
    Chris

    Chris,
    if your modifier is working properly , you should be able to see the width=230px in the HTML source of the template.
    Another way could be to attach this width to a stylesheet class and attach the class to the cell instead.

  • Problem with increased cell width

    Hi Gurus,
    In Smartform while creating table, on wat basis we give the cell width i mean column width, is that based on the length of the variable, or is there any formula to align perfectly.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Viswam.

    Hi,
    You find the length of fieldname for the header and the field to be displayed in item.
    Total
    total(15),
    here total is 5 characters while the variable under it can contain atmost 15 characters. So we assign cell width at least 15 + 5(min) = 20 unit. It basically depends on how many columns to display. If less columns are used you can be liberal, but if more number columns are to be displayed just add 5 or whatever number you want to the bigger of the two mentioned above.

  • Making OnLoad work in individual cells in multiple rows

    Dear Raj et al...
    thanks for your help with getting the java applet (JMOL) working in individual cells/rows in report tables.
    I now need some help with getting OnLoad to work in each row.
    I am able to make it work in an HTML region (not in a report table) where I use <body #ONLOAD#> in the HTML region and OnLoad="document.jmol.loadinline(getElementById('P16_text').value)"; in the 'On Load' region in page template.
    However if I use OnLoad="document.jmol#AUTOKEY#.loadinline(getElementById('f01_#ROWNUM#').value)";
    and put body tags in the Report Attributes\Column Formatting\html expression region where I have embeded the applet tags it doesn't work.
    I don't think the #AUTOKEY# and #ROWNUM# are the problem as I also tried explicitly naming the objects:
    OnLoad="document.jmol1.loadinline(getElementById('f01_1').value)";
    and it still didn't work.
    Again any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
    -Dave

    Actually I take that back...
    "I don't think the #AUTOKEY# and #ROWNUM# are the problem as I also tried explicitly naming the objects:
    OnLoad="document.jmol1.loadinline(getElementById('f01_1').value)"; and it still didn't work."
    The reason this didn't work is that I had two javascript calls in the on load section and I obviously didn't format them properly (the first worked not the second).
    In any case, this worked once it was made the only javascript call in the on load section.
    When I tried to use #AUTOKEY# or #ROWNUM# these were then flagged with an "Invalid Character" error.
    Do you have any suggestions as how to have variable names put in the "OnLoad" statement and will it work for the n rows that are queried?
    Thanks a lot!
    -Dave

  • Jtable cell width in JFileChooser

    I wonder if there is a way to adjust the table cell width in JFileChooser ?
    When I list the "My Computer" directory, I can see a list of drives in a JTable, such as "A:\", "C:\", "D:\", I've set it that way so that it displays the JTable view details as default. But the widths of the columns aren't the way I'd like to see, how can I adjust the cell widths of "Name", "Type","TotalSize" ...
    Thanks
    Frank

    uhmm yes, but i want to set automatically at run time,Then you need to calculate it at run time. Search the forum. There are many postings on this topic that give a solution. Basically you loop through all the rows in the column and invoke the prepareRenderer(...) method of the table and save the largest width and then set the TableColumn width.

  • Setting the cell width in a Tabular Form (SQL Query (updateable report) )

    version 3.2.1
    I have a Tabular Form (SQL Query (updateable report) ) and I have a column that is a VARCHAR2(4000) that when displayed extends the cell to the full length (which of course makes sense).
    How can I set the width of this cell to something like 30 or 50 and wrap the contents?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Scott,
    Thank you for replying.
    Your suggestion kinda worked. I say kinda because when the report is first displayed the cell is the full width and appears to ignore the width setting. There is a Select List on the report to restrict some of the data that is displayed. When a selection is made from this Select List, it appears that the cell width is then adjusted to what was set, but not for every selection from this Select List.
    I made the width entry in Tabular Form Element - Element Width
    Any idea why the width setting is ignored?
    Thanks,
    Joe

  • How to increase size of individual column width in the filter screen of WAD

    Hello all ,
    Have a web application built in WAD. I have ran it  in portal and want to put the filter on material.When the filter screen displayed , I selected the filter value on material and added it to selections.  I am not able to see the full description of the material due to the width of the column is less which is hided to drag. Do we have any option to increase the individual column width in filter screen?
    Request you to respond .
    Regards,

    Hi Vijay,

  • How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array?

    How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array of numeric indicators?
    I want the VI to check a data value and if it is failing, white out a square at a specific index coordinate.  I have it working with color boxes, but I'm not sure how to use the property node function, to change the color of individual cells, by coordinates.
    I have attached the VI using color boxes. If you run the VI, the box corresponding to the Step control should turn white.
    I want to do the same thing, using numeric indicator boxes inside the array.
    Thanks for any suggestions...

    Get rid of all these sequences! That's just bad form.
    Your code has a few logical problems. Why do you create a boolean array if you later only look at the last element (Yes, the FOR loop does nothing useful, except in the last iteration because your outputs are not indexing. All other iterations are useless, you only get the result of the last array element. My guess is that you want to color the index white if at least one of the numbers is out if range. Right?
    It is an absolute nightmare to manage all your numeric labels. Just read them from a 2D array. Now you can simply find the index of the matched elements and don't have to spend hours editing case structure conditions.
    Attached is a simple example how you would do what I meant (LV7.1). Modify as needed.

  • Individual Cell Referencing

    Hi All,
    This thread actually follows on from another, which you can find here: Multiple tables feeding one table
    I don't believe it is possible to reference specific cells in a table in the manner you have described. You can reference the cells in an individual selected row of a table by using the corresponding field/column name. However, I don't think you can reference individual cells anywhere in the table like you can with Excel spreadsheets for example.
    Judging from the response quoted above, it will be possible to calculate values for Column4, if:
    Column4 = Column2 + Column3.
    Example 1
    --Column1Column2---Column3-----Column4
    Row 1 -
    80--
    85
    95--
    180
    Row 2 -
    100--
    130
    160--
    290
    Row 3 -
    200--
    210
    220--
    430
    Row 4 -
    200--240260--
    zzz
    But it will not be possible to calculate values for Column4 , if:
    Column4 =  a value from another row Column1 + value from row in Column2.
    Example 2
    --Column1Column2---Column3-----Column4
    Row 1 -
    80--
    8595--
    185
    Row 2 -
    100--
    130160--
    330
    Row 3 -

    210220--
    410
    Row 4 -
    200--240260--

    It is highly desirable to be able to reference particular cells and their values in order to be able to manipulate them a little further (as this info is not available at BI Cube level; arrives from different BI queries).
    Is anyone able to confirm please?
    Regards,
    Chet.

    Hi Chet,
    Your understanding is accurate.  As far as I am aware, it is not possible to achieve Example 2 because there is no way of specifiying the row reference for a table cell in a Visual Composer formula.
    Since it is possible to perform cell calculations in BI, I would suggest that you try to define one BI query with all of the required information.  In order to perform cell calculations in the query it must have a fixed layout, i.e. a column structure and a row structure.
    Regards,

  • Setting cell editor for individual cell in JTable

    Hi there,
    I want to provide individual cell editor for my JTable. Basically, my JTable shows property names and values. I want to show different cell editors for different properties.
    I followed the advice in this post:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=423318
    but I have a question:
    I looked at the code of DefaultCellEditor. It just has a single editor component (the one provided in the constructor), so all the methods use the same component and certain aspects are customized for the type of component. Again, there can be only one type of component at a time.The problem that I am facing is that I will have different components for different row/column of the same table. So how do I implement some of the methods (for example, getCellEditorValue()), when I have multiple editor components?
    Also, how do I commit changes made by the user?
    I am extremely confused.
    Someone please help!
    Thanks.

    Actually, that's what I am currently doing.
    Here is my cell editor class:
    public class ObjectPropertyEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
           public ObjectPropertyEditor()
              super(new JTextField());
              Vector list = new Vector();
              list.add("Yes");
              list.add("No");
             myCombo = new JComboBox(list);
          public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
              boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
             String colName = (String)table.getValueAt(row,0);
             if(colName.equalsIgnoreCase("Leaf-Node?")) //if it is the "Leaf" property, return the combo box as the editor
                 return myCombo;
            else  //for all other properties, use JTextField of the super class
                return super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
        private JComboBox myCombo;
    }The problem I have is that when I select a new item from the combo box, the new selection is not reflected in the tableModel. I don't know how I can achive that. I think I need the functionalities that DefaultCellEditor gives to its delegate when its constructor arguments is a combo box. But how can I get two different sets of functionalities (JTextField and JComboBox) ?
    Please help!
    Thanks.

  • Block, columns, files or individual cells in numbers?

    Hello,
    There's any way to block from editing an individual cell or file or column?
    Normally I use some cells or columns to use specifyc formulas on them, with  automathic results.
    Not being able to block those, it's really easy to delete the formula.
    I could use a Formular for editing data, and block the full table for showing results, but I would prefer to do it on the smae table as in excel, just having some columns editable and others not blocked with automathic formulas.
    Is this possible somehow?
    Thanks
    Sergi.

    I don't think so, unless maybe your formulas were on a different table on a different sheet and you just referenced them from the data entry table.
    Also, have you looked into Forms? I don't use them much, but I do see that you cannot edit formulas from there.
