[JS CS3] Tab Stops in Table

Question

Below is a function that would delete all existing tab stops in a column and the add a new tab stop.
function TabStopper (myPosition, xx){
myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabStops.everyItem().remove();
myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabStops.add({position:myPosition, alignment:TabStopAlignment.CHARACTER_ALIGN, alignmentCharacter:")"});
The problem is that this works well with CS2 but not with CS3. In CS3, only the tab stops in the last cell of the selected column are removed. Can anybody please help analyze what the problem is. Thank you so much.

Answer 1

Joaquin,
Strange indeed that that doesn't work. You can get around it by using this method:
function TabStopper (myPosition, xx){
   myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabList =
[{position:xx, alignment:TabStopAlignment.CHARACTER_ALIGN, alignmentCharacter:")"}];
When you set a tabList like this, any other tabstops are deleted, and this works in CS3. (CS4 restores CS2's behaviour.)
