Lock table cell size

Hello,
I am creating a web form and want everything to line up. I am looking on how I can lock a table cell size. I simply clicked on the <td> selector and typed 70 in the Width, but it readjusts.
Thank you.

I know but let's say I want to have a table with a width of
600px and 5 columns, 2 of those colums have content and the other 3
don't. I want those 2 columns with content to automatically size
themselves but since my table has a width of 600px it won't
work.

Locked table cell?

Our studio inherited an ID3 document. A portion of the table cells are locked. When you mouse over with any of the arrow tools it seems fine. As soon as you try to select the text the lock icon shows up. We're not able to unlock the cell (no unlock item shows up in the menu).
We did try copying the table to a brand new document, which unlocked the cells in question. However, when we edit the text, it also applies the changes to yet another table cell (almost like it was cloning the text).
I've never seen anything like this. We're wondering if this was repurposed from a Quark doc or something.
Any insight is appreciated. TIA

<<Does conditional text work on tables?>> I don't think so. Once you make any change to the header text, such as hiding conditional text or applying a variable, the changes are reflected in the headers in subsequent frames. But here's a different solution that works a lot better than the goofy white box. Suppress the header in the first frame. To do this, create the entire header, such as "Header 2 (Continued)" and then choose Table > Table Options > Headers and Footers and select Skip First. Then, in the first frame, type the header text, such as "Header 2" in the first line of body text, and apply the same formatting you use in the header.

Table cell widths and images

I am try to create a able that will have 4 columns in all but
the the layout will be flexible.
That is the text might span 3 columns and an image might be
in the remaining 1 column. Or the timage will span 2 columns and
the text in the remaining 2 columns. Sort of a flexible magazine
layout that can combine text and photos. . you can see what I came
up with at this URL
http://www.historicchevychasedc.org/test/
Even though the drawing of the house is much small than the 3
columns it occupies it throws the whole layout off. When I removed
the image or replace it with txt the layout looks fine. (When it
looks fine the first paragraph starts to the immediate right of the
small photo, there isn't that large gap of space. This paragraph
spans 3 columns)
Is there anyway to make tables behave? Or is there a solution
sans table that is flexible enough to accommodate a variety of text
and photo arrangements?
Tom

Hello,
I agree with Malcom.
Separate tables or nested tables if you must use tables, but
don't merge
cells as it can cause trouble, especially rowspans.
The layout you built could also be built by placing all the
text in a div
and floating the images to the left or to the right.
Here's some great info:

Take care,
Tim

Set tab position relative to column/table cell width?

I'm creating a form that, not surprisingly, has lots of "blanks" for users to fill out, many of them with $ signs preceding them, like so:
Mortgage $ _________________
Credit cards $ _______________
Loans $ ___________________
So the traditional nice way of doing this is to set a right tab at the right edge of the column with an underscore for a tab leader. I've set up a paragraph style with the tab set like this, so all I have to do is '$'-tab to fill the space.
But other sections of this form use multiple columns, something like:
                    Applicant 1                    Applicant 2
Mortgage      $ _______________        $ _______________
Credit cards $ _______________        $ _______________
Loans           $ _______________        $ _______________
So I put these into tables.
Problem is, these columns are a different width than the others; and I have other widths throughout the document. I'd prefer not to have to create a new paragraph style for each column width. What I really need is a way to set a tab not at a fixed location but "at the right edge of the column" or something similar.
Is there a way to do this in InDesign?
Thanks.

What you want is a "right indent" tab (Shift + Tab). These flaot with the column width, but becasue you don't set them in the tabs panel or the style definition, you can't easily apply a leader. You can however apply an underline to the tab itself, which a lot of us think is nicer, anyway. Use a character style to do that for efficiency (and you can do it in a nested style).

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.

Table cells not editable in Contribute

I have a date table (inside a CSS layout) which displays incorrectly in Contribute Edit mode.This is the URL http://www.greencs.co.uk/accreditations.html
In Contribute Edit mode, the right hand column of the table (which contains the PDF certificates) is pushed far out to the right (beyond the rest of the layout) which makes it impossible for the cells in this column to be edited. This also happens in Dreamweaver; the table width is 598 pixels but the Display width (in parenthesis in Dreamweaver) is 1300 px. Does anyone know why the Display width, which I assume Contribute is using in Edit mode, is so wide..... and how I can constrain it.
I have tried adding various table cell widths but to no avail. Help.....
Many thanks

This problem has been solved by placing the logo images in their own table cell instead of floating left. The float and adjacent text caused the problem. Thanks to Neil Gibson @cvwcreative who came up with the solution on Twitter.

How to adjust the cell width in the table

How can the width of the cell in a table for ADE be adjusted ?
I wrote the following HTML code in a ePub file.
<table style="width:100%;border-collapse: collapse;">
<tr><td style="width:25%">red</td>
<td style="width:75%">red</td></tr>
</table>
But, the created table runs over the page at the right side in the ADE (see figure). The values of widths in the both td tags are set to 50% and the same result is got. However, with no set of the values the table fits in the page.
Why? How should I do?

Try adding "margin: 0;" to the table style (or to parent elements of the table)
In case you don't know already, itis easy to play quickly with HTML at a site like http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_basic
However, that won't reflect the 'outer' environment imposed by different browsers, eReaders etc.
The more explicit you make your HTML (eg explicit margin) rather than leaving it to environment support,
the more likely it is to appear the same (within reason of size etc) on all browsers/devices.
Probably worth making a fairly extensive style of your defaults that applies at the <doc> level.

Autofit column width to table cell content in Pages

Hello,
Would anyone know how to autofit the column width of a table cell in Pages '09?
I have searched Pages Help to no avail.
Thank you very much in advance.

There is a checkbox in the table inspector to auto-resize to fit content. Unfortunately, that only seems to work with rows, not columns.

Crop Aspect Ratio, width, height, resolution locks up

I am running PSE6 on an XP PC platform.
This anomaly happens about 75% of the time.
After processing a batch of raw images in Camera Raw, highlighting them and clicking on Open Image to open the converted images in PSE, I sometimes find I cannot open the Crop Aspect Ratio selection drop-down box. Nor can I type in changes to Width, Height, and Resolution fields--I can, however change the values by using the sliders that appear when I mouseover the Width, Height or Resolution titles, but even that's limited--whatever is to the right of the decimal point remains unchanged.
I've also experienced this Crop "lock-out" when just opening JPEG/TIFF/PSD images directly from the image file folder.
The only way I have found to clear this anomaly has been to close and reopen PSE. Today, for the first time, that didn't fix the problem. It came up with Crop locked up.
Has anyone else run into this? If so, what, if any, solution is there?
Thanks,
dale

First try clicking the little arrow at the far left of the options bar and choosing reset tool. If that doesn't do it, quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Fit Table width/height to Margin

It would be a great handy feature if the table width could be fitted to the margin of the page.
Moreover 'tables' need some more extra features like : distribute rows/column evenly to fit table width/height. At present this feature extends the table width/height when applied. Once I fix the width and height of the table, distribute rows/column must fit to that width/height only. The table should only extend when I add rows or column.

Use this code and change it as appropriate.

Drop-down menu in table cells - how to expand over the column width?

Hello!
A client is migrating their 2,400 forms from old JetForms to PDF (LiveCycle Designer) and would like to keep the same functionalities he's used to in the old platform. However, some of the old tool features do not seem to be present in LiveCycle.
Suppose a drop-down menu in a table cell, containing items which lengths are bigger than the table column. In JetForm, when you open the drop-down it spans over the columns to show all its contents, not cutting the drop-down list contents.
I tried this in LiveCycle, but the drop-down gets cut and its contents are limited to the table column (hence the drop-down menu) width.
Is there a way to work around this limitation, even if I have to use some scripting?
Thank you for any ideas!
Marcos

Hi again, Niall!
Thank you again for your great examples!
The dynamic width drop-down will cover some of the client's expectations.
However, they would like it to work even when the drop-down is within a table cell with a width smaller than the width they want the drop-down to show when the mouse enters the field.
I'm afraid you will say this is not possible... Or at least not without a lot of coding, using subforms or the like.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!
Marcos
