Separate or move character in table cell

I have table with "$" value. I want to separate the $ in cel befor it. is there a script that can move this "$" in the previous cell.

Hi Kent,
For the Table cell editor only basic UI controls can be added. It doesn't supprt container controls like scroll container or transparent container. So adding the scroll container n then inserting a text view element into it is not possible in case of table cells.
One of the solution can be....just add a text view control as the cell editor n sets the following properties :
For text view: Set 'Wrapping' to true.
For table column: Set 'Resizable' to true.
Hope it serves your purpose.

How do I insert the tab character in a table cell in Pages 5.2?

I'm typing text in a table cell. I need to insert a tab in the text. I've tried all of the modifier keys with the tab. I read somewhere it would be CTRL>TAB, like Word, but that navigates to the Inspector.

You will need to add a Unicode keyboard. System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Click the + button in the lower left. Scroll all the way to the end and select Others > Unicode Hex Input. Select and Add this. Check the box that says Show input menu in menu bar. Exit System Preferences.
From the Finder menu, select your recent Unicode Hex Input source (it is a black box with white U+ in it). Now, position your cursor in your table cell between the characters where you want to insert a tab character. Press and hold your option key, then type 0009 (zeroes). This is the Unicode sequence for the tab control character. Space will open in your text. Tabs in table cells survive PDF export. The tab mark will not appear with Show invisibles enabled.
Switch back to your normal country input source in that Finder input source menu.

Want Flash movie to scale with table cell. NOT WORKING!

Greetings;
I have authored a Flash movie and it is working fine. When I
use the html page output by Flash it scales fine but when I cut and
paste this code into a table cell the movie will not scale (in
Firefox) and not showup at all in IE 7.
Help appreciated. Here is the html page output by Flash:
http://www.howardbakerphotography.com/gallery/bakerGallery.html
(Scaling fine)
Here is the content placed inside a simple table cell:
http://www.howardbakerphotography.com/gallery/index3.php
(Only shows up small not scaling)
Help appreciated.

Found the solution myself! It appears the problem was in the
document type I was declaring:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
*The above was preventing my Flash from scaling when placed
in a table cell. When I changed it to:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN" >
It worked fine.
I'd be curious to know a little more about this problem if
anyone else has some insight ...
Is this document type I've gone to now an older one and going
to eventually go away?

Creating 2 separate buttons instead of table cell

Hi,
I wonder how can I create a custom table cell like in contacts applications where instead of one cell you see 2 separate buttons on the same row? In my case I need to create 2 buttons instead of single row in the state of editing.
Thanks for help,
Nava

Get to the end of the info of some contact. You will see in the end 2 separate buttons on the cell row:
Text Message and Add To Favorites. Or you can see it on the top of the contact info when you press edit, you will see, that the icon on the top become to be a button, which when pressed brings you to an image picker and alongside lays a what seems to be a cell, which when pressed brings you to a screen, where you can edit the contact name... I can't figure out how do they do that. No sample gives a clue...

Urgent! HTML table cell - Flash movie display browser dependent

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has experienced the same problem i have
(note, Windows XP, Dreamweaver 4).
Consider the (rough) HTML code attached: A simple HTML table
of one column and two rows is constructed to hold an image banner
link and a Flash movie banner link in each cell consecutively.
The Flash movie works normally when the HTML page is viewed
in IE and Opera, until that is, it is placed inside a table cell.
Inside the cell the flash movie seems to disappear, though i
suspect it collapses to an image 1 pixel in height, as this can
just about be seen using Opera.
Is there something that I am missing? The code of course
seems correct to me - perhaps there is a browser setting i am
missing?
Any help apprceiated - as i need to implement this code ..
Daz

Hi Alan,
Dont think that was the problem (percentages used to scale to
users browser?) ... though you did set me thinking!
Was tired before, so only just remembered that when i was
experimenting with setting the Table Properties the image was
actually occasionally visible!!
Short version: When formatting a cell containing a Flash
animation dont leave the H field blank or use % (even though you're
suppose to be able to!), use pixels instead - otherwise the Flash
image collapses/disappears. Blank and % are fine everywhere else
(I did type a long answer before, but it got eaten by the
forum monster
Someone/i will probably figure out
why this is so or maybe i've just rediscovered the wheel
here - but thats not really important now - because my Flash
animation now renders similarly across IE, Opera and FireFox !!
So thanks for your help!

InDesign CS6 Font doesn't work in table cells

Hi all!
I'm working in InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6 Leopard. I have character and paragraph styles defined using a certain font, and they work just fine except when using them in table cells. I have the character style nested in the paragraph style, which is then used in the cell style. But it doesn't work. It inherits everything correctly except for the font. If I select the text, the font menu tells me it is the correct font, but it displays in a different font. I've tried exporting to IDML and resaving, but that didn't work. I'm stumped

Hi Jeffrey-
Indeed it should, and I see why using a formatted table would cause conflicts, but I am importing it as an unformatted table already. Built all styles in InDesign first, then imported as unformatted table. A few times it did work as expected, but most of the time it steadfastly refused to apply the correct font.
But in any case, that wasn't my only issue with the tables. My understanding of importing Excel spreadsheets is that applied table and cell styles will be maintained when the linked file is updated, but local formatting/overrides will be wiped out, which is why I was trying to get the styles working in the first place. However, after testing, I found that even when I didn't use local formatting/overrides, updating the linked file still broke my InDesign layout.
In my test, the only thing I did to the imported (unformatted) table was to apply the table/cell styles and adjust column width (which is unavoidable as far as I know - didn't see anywhere I could set column width as part of a style). But even then an update to the linked file removed all the styles and column widths I had set (and was also highly annoying as it gave me a separate error message about the formatting loss for each and every instance of the spreadsheet).
Could be a fluke, or could be I'm missing something, but for whatever reason, I just couldn't get it to work

Superscripts in table cells

Hi,
I want to enter a superscript in a table cell e.g. ⁻128, but using the superscript command on the MINUS SIGN character rather than SUPERSCRPT MINUS character I used above. When I try and enter this, it works within the cell until I move away and then all the characters become superscript.
Is there anything I can do differently to resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
Triskaideka.

I think you need to change the cell format to TEXT.

Multiple tabs in table cell (FM 7)

Hey gang,
I've got a table that requires multiple tab stops in one table cell. They're easy enough to place--I use the Tab Stops segment in Paragraph Designer--but I cannot move back and forth between the tabs. Each tab stop must be numbered. For example, I inserted seven tab stops in the cell. Is there a way to step through the tab stops without leaving the cell?
Thanks in advance!
-terry-

I need to add that the above may not work, depending on your platform and FM release.
On FM7.1/Unix, Find randomly fails to find things in tables, and tabs are no exception. The hack above did not work.
On FM9/Win7, Find of \t did navigate between tabs in a table.
The real parent problem here may be: who gets to see the keycode from the [Tab] key? It appears that the OS GUI gets first crack at it, and what's passed to the app may not be an 09h character but some window nav event (that has to be converted back to an \x09 when the intent is to type a tab into the text, but when the focus is in an FM table, FM thinks you want nav).
An FM-specific sub-problem is that FM doesn't support tables within tables (actually, it does, but you have to create a new text frame inside an anchored frame inside the table cell). Tables within tables would eliminate the temptation to tab.
Tabs, of course, have been a CS problem forever, as there was never an agreed industry standard for what they meant (move 8 spaces, or move to next multiple of 8 space from left, or move to next tab stop, and what if none are defined, etc.). In FM, users who use tabs are generally doing so from habit from other word processors, and are grabbing the margin tab tool, rather than defining stops in Paragraph Designer. A later author updates the para format, resetting all overrides, and bye bye tabs.
I usually use borderless tables these days for body text layouts that might historically have been done as tabs.
If I need column-control inside table cells, I'll often use as many columns as needed, and straddle them in the cells that don't use the extra columns).

Can't vertically center text within a table cell with a picture next to it

I have a table and each cell has a picture in it (which was "cut" from another part of the document and "pasted" into the cells). Next to it, I typed a few words. I want the words to be centered vertically within the cell. However, everytime I click on the vertical centering in the inspector, it moves the picture and the text remains at the very bottom of the cell. The text is "tied" to the picture. I've tried everything... highlighting the text, same thing. Can't figure it out!! Is there any way to do this without inserting text boxes??

Vertical align works on text within text boxes and within table cells.
I have just checked this using a table with:
*1st cell* Inline Picture with caption under. Cell sizes to fit
*2nd cell* Same as first, picture scaled down. Text and image centre vertically.
*3rd cell* Caption only, vertically centred.
It works and I have wrap turn off on the image, before I pasted it in.
On rereading the O.P.'s post it seems to be saying contradictory things. That the text is "tied to the picture" which is what you would expect of inline graphics and that the text is stuck in the bottom the cell.
Without a picture and a better description of the problem we are none the wiser.
I am just guessing but perhaps the O.P. has the image and Inline graphic on the same line and can't understand why the bottom of the text and the bottom of the image are aligned.
If this is the case it is a misunderstanding of what inline graphic means. The image acts just like a character in the text and sits on the text baseline, it is not an independent object.
It is possible to shift text next to the image or the image itself by selecting either and altering:
+Inspector > Text > More > Baseline Shift+
But frankly you would be better separating the 2 and putting the text in the cell to the left or right of the image.

Looping table cells....... is it possible to loop more than one table cell?

Hi there
Hope everyone is doing well
I have been using the addt looper wizard and it works great.....
I usually put all the things I want to loop into one cell.... then select all the things and apply the looper.... which works fine....
But..... it is hard to align all the elements I want to loop
I have been using transparent gif images to space the loops evenly but when I space dynamic taxt on top of each other there is a large gap.....
It is a nightmare to get it looking even
Ok say I want to loop this.....
A thumbnail
Product ID
Price
It would look like this
A thumbnail
Product ID
Price
Because I cannot reduce the space between the lines......
So I would like to place all the different elements in separate table cells and loop them..... I have tried and get really strange results....
When you look at most online shops, their product pages have a thumbnail image the id, price, description, etc.... all spaced evenly.... and looks like is looped...... So.... how do I do it?
Is there any easier way to align the things I want to loop?
Any help would be great

Hi there
I seem to have figured out how to loop cells....
Should have thought of it earliar but anyway
Was easy....
Just create a looped (repeat) region and insert a table into the region and edit the table to align all the looped elements easily....
Cool

How to stop editing in a table cell

i m using JTextArea as renderer and editor for table cell. While editing i want to stop editing in that cell at some perticular instance. i have used stopCellEditing() function on TableCellEditor but still the Caret does not goes away and when i press any key it still types that character at that place. I want to hide the Caret and do not want any character to print in the cell after calling stopCellEditing().

What you have already done, and the resulting behavior is unclear from your post. Post more details.

How to apply different CSS styles to different table cells?

I have an h:dataTable table and I would like to apply different CSS styles to different table cells depending on their content. If I were doing JSP I would probably have a <c:if> test on the cells, and give them a style name depending on contents, and then define the styles in a separate style sheet. Is there a way in JSF to do the equivalent? Thanks.

BalusC wrote:
How to achieve a cell-specific style is already answered in my 1st reply of this topic.That tells how to apply a style to the text (or other content) inside a cell but not how to apply a style to the <td> as a whole. It would work for something like text font or text color but not cell border.
I'm thinking I can mark the content somehow and then have javascript traverse the DOM, find marked content, and traverse outward to the enclosing <td>. Is there a better way?BalusC already spoke about rowClasses and columnClass attributes, I assume those are insufficient.
The Tomahawk dataTable component has the rowStyleClass and rowStyle attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML tr tag. One is allowed to reference the row data variable when assigning values to these. However, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-523 for workarounds to bugs in some implementations.
The Tomahawk column component has the styleClass and style attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML td tag. These also may reference the row data variable.

Robohelp HTML 9 hyperlinks in table cells help

Hi,
I'm creating a table in robohelp html 9 and adding hyperlinks in the table cells. If the hyperlink is the first word in that cell robohelp is adding styling code to the link eg <td><a href="#" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">test</a></td>.
If I add a link to the second word in a table cell the styling does not appear or even if I add a space before the link the code does not appear eg <td> <a href="#">test</a> </td>.
The code appears when I flick between design and HTML views but it does not make any difference in which view I create the link.
No matter how many times I delete this code is keeps coming back. Can anyone please help me? Is there some default that gives this the styling code?Does anyone else get this issue?
A table with the different examples is below. It was created in design view by clicking table>insert table>OK. Links added by clicking the insert hyperlink button.
<table style="border-collapse: separate; border-collapse: separate;" cellspacing="0"
         width="33.333%" border="1">
    <col style="width: 100%;" />
    <tr>
        <td><a href="#" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">test
         that has the added code</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td> <a href="#">test with space in front of link</a> </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td><a href="#" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">test</a></td>

I have the same problem with those stupid links in tables - I've been working on this for HOURS and HOURS...... Based on previous experience, I assumed it must only be me and an ill-formed stylesheet. The table/link issue just came to my attention because I am in the process of changing styles/formats to a new company standard (new link color) and thought I really screwed my CSS up as I was changing things!
My only workaround thusfar has been to rewrite some data in the tables so that text will precede the link (yes, I did). And where I just couldn't do that, I resigned myself to the problem and forced a different color on the links (changing the #0000ff). One plus was that RH didn't rewrite the color code once it was changed manually..... but then I realized later that I didn't consider the hover color when I did this, so I now have to go back and correct them.
So glad to find your post...........
I played with the idea of adding hidden text, but was worried that the problem was really a result of an issue with my CSS and doing that wasn't the proper way to fix it.   So, without guilt, I took Rick's suggestion and added an invisible dot/period at the beginning of every link in a table, when that link is the first or only content in the td. Did the trick! Now the links assume my declared css style!
I submitted a bug report.......
Thank you!!!

'Submit To' Based on Number in Table Cell

Hi,
Upon clicking a Submit button, I'm trying to have my form go to certain people based on a number in a table cell.
For example, if the dollar amount in the table cell I named "TotalPrice" is $1,000 or greater, it goes to one group, and if it is less than $1,000, it goes to another group.
Here is the script I was trying, but not having any success...
var vEmail;
var vCC;
if (Page1.Table1.Row[11].TotalPrice.rawValue >= 1000)
    vEmail = Page1.Buyer.rawValue;
    vCC = Page1.RequestorEmail.rawValue + "[email protected]";
else
    vEmail = Page1.Buyer.rawValue;
    vCC = Page1.RequestorEmail.rawValue;
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
ZeroZone

var vEmail;
var vCC;
if (Page1.Table1.Row.all.item(11).TotalPrice.rawValue >= 1000)
    vEmail = Page1.Buyer.rawValue;
    vCC = Page1.RequestorEmail.rawValue + ";[email protected]";//make sure to separate emails with semicolons(;)
else
    vEmail = Page1.Buyer.rawValue+";[email protected]";
    vCC = Page1.RequestorEmail.rawValue;
app.mailMsg({bUI:true,cTo:vEmail,cSubject:"My Subject",cCC:vCC})

Select from multiple entries in table cell.

Hi All,
I'm having issues when trying to do a simple select from an access database:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAllByMonth" DATASOURCE="dsn">
SELECT * FROM table WHERE strMonth = '#url.strMonth#' AND strDisplay = Yes
order by strOrder_id
</CFQUERY>
Table cells in rows contain coma separated values:
January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November, December
Unfortunately the query returns no values. I've tried changing the "=" with "like", "contains" but with no results.
Difficult to know what to search for so any help gratefully recieved.

Here is an absolutely crazy "hack" that I once used when dealing with a database like that. It had hundreds of thousands of rows with comma separated values that for various legacy could not be changed.
So one day I did this ... SELECT DISTINCT column_from_purgatory FROM table_from_hell.
Much to my surprise, there were less than a hundred DISTINCT values in that column. (They were, fortunately, reasonably-sized VARCHARs.)
So I built a table of those values, then created a separate table into which I could put each of the comma-separated parts, and then wrote a small (Perl) script to populate the two. For example, a row containing "January, March, April" would be linked to three rows containing one month-name each.
Now, as long as I had a way to be sure that this pair of lookup-tables was always complete (which was slightly problematic), I had something that I could actually JOIN to. It wasn't pretty ... in fact, it was butt-ugly ... but it saved a tremendous amount of processing time for this application.
