Merging Table Cells

It seem you can add and delete cells in a table. But, can you
merge them? I haven't been able to find a merge command in any of
the menus.

quote:
I'll pass this on to the engineering team.
To add to that,
I think it would also be go to be able to split single cells
into 2 cells, not to add a row or column but to say, have 1 row
have 2 columns, but the right-most column would have 2 rows built
into it. Let me know if I am being unclear.
Great product.

Merge table cells of JTable

Can we merge two cells of JTable, the way we do it in html using rowspan and colspan?

no, that's unsupported. There are some (partly oldish, google should help) experiments out there - but beware: they all require tweaks on the level of the ui-delegates which isn't a real option most of the time.

Merging table cells in Smartform

Hi ABAP Technical Consultants,
             Have a doubt in merging cells in Smart form.
             My doubt is -- I have taken one table with two line types. First line type containing 9 columns & second line type containing 17 columns. But First line type first cell width is 1.88 cm & it does not have data and second line type first cell is 1.88 cm & it has some data (This is static data).
             Now my requirement is I want to merge " First line type first cell & second line type first cell ". Is it able to do in smart form development?
             If you have any ideas and views, please share with me & waiting for your pamper information.
NOTE: Here data is static, not getting data either from internal table nor work area.
Thanks

If you are using table, then realign the table my adding 2 cells in a row. Go to Main window==> table==> table tab==> click on details.. Now you will get the row details. Choose the row where you wants the merge. Let us consider you wants to merge cell 3 (2cm) & 4 (1 cm). then put 2 +1 = 3 cm for cell 3 and delete cell 4. Note: content will be deleted for this

Report with merged table cells?

I would like to merge cells vertically on break columns in a report.
Something like:
| John | 123 Main |
| |------------------------------|
| | 456 First |
|-----------------------------------------|
| Jane | 789 Sycamore |
(you'll have to paste this and use a fixed font to see it properly)
Currently, by just setting break formating, I get an empty cell as the second row for John. I would like that cell below John to be merged with John (no border between).
How can I accomplish this?

Sound like what youre looking for is a master-detail form. You can just use the wizard to create this. You will be asked for table names, columns to display etc., and everything will be generated for you. If you dont want to have the detail report or master record updateable, you can just change the display types to display-only.

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.

Merging of cells of a dynamic table in adobe form

Hi,
I am trying to Merge 2 columns in a dynamic table in adobe form.The requirement is to merge column 3 and column 4 if column 4 is empty. I used the below javascript code in both "Form ready " and Initialize event of the row.
if (this.Cell4.rawValue == " ")
this.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
this.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
Note : Since above code was not working , i used the below code in my subform also but it did not returned desired output.
if(Table22.Row1.Cell1.rawValue == " ")
Table22.Row1.Cell3.colSpan = "2";
Table22.Row1.Cell4.presence = "hidden";
The problem is that in my dynamic table , its the second row where the requirement is fulfilled ie in the 2nd entry of my table the column4 is blank (the exact row number might change depending on input data).
is there a way to loop in the dynamic table and check if column 4 is empty for a particular row.
the above code does not help to fulfill my requirements. kindly help.
Thanks
Aditi

Straddled FM Table Cells Not Merged in WebHelp

Using TCS2 on Win XP, generating WebHelp — my straddled table cells in FM are not merged in WebHelp.
Is this a known problem, or is there a way to make this work?
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
I'm confused to where you applied the vertical alignment. Normally, I would set this for the table cells and not the table.
CSS has indeed an order in rendering: There is a point system for determining the CSS to apply. See http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-understanding-css-specific ity/ for a short introduction.
And as an extra to the point system, the place where the styling is present, also determines the styling. Browsers use the following hierarchy (in descending order)
User style sheet defined in the browser.
Inline styling.
Style block in page.
External style sheet
You can overwrite styling from a lower order using the !important declaration. You can use this to make sure that inline styling will not be able to overwrite styles from your style sheet. (Unless the inline styles use !important themselves.) Example:
table.mytable td {
vertical-align: middle !important;
This will make all the content of table cells in the table with the class mytable to be vertically centered.
Greet,
Willam

1) how to get to the cell in Javascript
2) in What event that I must place the Javascript in
At the moment, I have the form layout as followed:

Hi
JS to fetch a the value of a field in a table is
xfa.resolveNode("form_name.subform_name.table_name.Row1["Row Index"].column_name[0]").rawValue;
You can write the code in the exit or validate event of the second column

[JS CS3] Merging table columns

Hi all,
What's the fastest way to merge columns in a table?
I'm using the following loop to merge the 4th and 5th columns in my table:
for( var f = myTable.rows.length-1; f >= 0; f-- ){
myTable.columns[3].cells[f].merge (myTable.columns[4].cells[f])
It works, but I'm working on a large table (120 pages worth) and have many instance where I need to merge columns. Using the loop above, the script takes hours to run. Is there a faster way to merge columns while keeping the rows intact?
Thanks,
Michael

I've just done some time testing with CS4 and found the following:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
cells = table.cells;
for (var j = 0; cells.length > j; j++) {
    cells[j].contents = "James";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
takes just about the same time to run as:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
for (var c = 0; columnCount > c; c++) {
    for (var r = 0; rowCount > r; r++) {
      table.cells.item(c + ":" + r).contents = "Harry";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
While this version takes about half as long again:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
for (var c = 0; columnCount > c; c++) {
    for (var r = 0; rowCount > r; r++) {
      table.rows[r].cells[c].contents = "Harry";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
None of which is particularly surprising. But when I compared the following two scripts, I was astonished by the result:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
table.cells.everyItem().contents = "Harry";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
table.cells.itemByRange(0, -1).contents = "George";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
The latter, using itemByRange was about a third faster than using everyItem(). 1800 milliseconds to 2700 on a 4 x 10 table.

Can a Table Cell span more than one page?

I'm working with tables in Pages to create a list of literature and important takeaways from each article. Sometimes the important information is more than I can fit on one page. However, Pages doesn't seem to be able to handle splitting cells across multiple pages. Instead, it seems to "push" the overflow text beyond the page, so I can't even see it as I'm typing.
In Word, such situations just cause the table cell to continue on to the next page. But I can't figure out how to do that in Pages. (And I'm a little concerned that there's not a way to handle this.)
Thanks!
Gary

The cell in question does split across 2 pages. "Do I need to" do that isn't really the point.
My question was whether Pages can handle splitting a table cell across 2 pages.
Pages can't; Word can.
(I'm trying to switch over for all of my future work into Pages, so there's a learning curve for me. The type of work I'm doing does have cells that split over 2 pages. In Word, it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, in Pages, I need to split the row in order to do the same thing. Which is kind of a pain, since I'm building the table dynamically and may insert rows above, below or between existing rows. In Word, it automatically handles moving the cells across multiple pages - or merging them back if I edit the text or insert/remove rows above.)
