Table cell boarders re-appearing

Hi -
Has anyone run into an issue where they remove the boarder around a cell only to have it re-appear the next time you open the layout template? If so, did you find a way around it?
Thanks
- CC

I was thinking that it could have to do with nesting tables in Word, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I created a new template and the issue isn't occurring anymore. I don't really care for the randomness of issue though.

InDesign Table Cell Strokes not appearing perfect

How do you get row and column strokes in a table to appear perfectly joined? When I choose "Column Strokes in Front" (Under Table Setup) i still see a tiny row stroke, and vice versus.. it's really visible in the PDF almost can't see it in InDesign though you can a little...

Thank you, although I doubled and even tripled checked the blue highlighted cell option and they visibly appear to be selected and in blue color, but when printed not the case.
This document is a product catalog, 50 plus pages and I have about 15 of those pages not showing the stroked edge. So that is why I thought, perhaps something was blocking the edge and arranged the table to the front with hopes of a difference, but that too failed. I am turning grey by the minute.

Table cell Borders not appearing

I am creating a basic table style. I want a header row that
has shading, with headings in bold and centered. When I create a
table style, this is no problem to set up.
I want the rows underneath the header to all have plain black
1-pixel vertical and horizontal borders. When I edit the table
style, it lets me have vertical or horizontal borders, but not
both. If I select to have horizontal, it puts them in. Then if I
select vertical, it removes the horizontal. When I click on Whole
Table, it doesn't change. It doesn't apply the borders to all the
cells.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me!
Thanks,
Kathleen Baine

This process is not intuitive.
Try this to understand how it works.
With Apply formatting to: Whole Table, change the border
colour to red.
You will see just the border for the Whole Table change, that
is the outer border.
Without exiting the editor, change "Apply formatting to" even
rows. Note the colour picker will change and so will the border
size in the Border controls. Change that to what you red and 1px as
well, now do that for for odd rows.
I think by now you will be getting the hang of it.
Post back if still in trouble.

IPhone UISwitch not appearing correctly in table cells

I have a table cell with a UISwitch attached to it.
When you click the switch it works (but not without a bit of code to make it switch when the word 'on' and 'off' are actually clicked) but when the table cell itself is clicked the switch distorts like shown here:
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6510/picture1df.png
what is the correct way to make a table cell with a UISwitch?

The code you posted looks like it should work on 3.0 just fine.
I've tried a custom table cell and it did the same thing
Assuming your custom subclass was built and used correctly, the above tells me something is definitely wrong in the cell's environment.
Perhaps it's something to do with the selecting of the row method?
Well that's certainly the first place to look. The delegate method you posted looks kinky. I would comment out that method, then go back to the solutions that didn't work in the past and see if your tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: hasn't been the problem all along.
In any case I would get rid of the deselect message in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:. What are you trying to accomplish there? If you simply want to disable all selections, you can just code tableView.allowsSelection=NO during setup. If you want to know the user's selection but don't want the cell to actually become selected, try something like this in the delegate:
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return nil;
If you want the cell to actually become selected, but don't want its appearance to change, try cell.selectionStyle=UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:.
If tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: turns out not to have been the problem, we'll need to look at the rest of your table view code. I've found the kind of problem you described is easily isolated once you have faith in some assumptions. In this case you just need to believe that both the subclass solution and the code in UICatalog will allow a UISwitch to display and operate perfectly. Once you believe that, you'll pay more attention to the rest of you code.
One excellent way to gain faith in the basic structure is to start a fresh testbed and, for example, use code similar to UICatalog to bring up a table view with a UISwitch in one or more cells. Once you see how easy it is to make that work, you can start backing in some of your more creative init, delegate and/or data source methods until you break the testbed.

Cell border not appearing in Adobe forms

Hi,
We Placed a button in internal table cell and itu2019s property is set to invisible.
This button is set to visible based on value of other column value in the same row of table.
But border for the cell is not coming when button is invisible.
Note: the button size is equal to cell size and so when we make the button invisible ,the cell border itself is not appearing as the whole cell is invsible.
How make the cell border visible even the button in that cell is invisible.
Please put your suggestions in this regard.

How to get the data from a table cell

Could somebody suggest me how I can get the data value from a table cell if I set that cell a Double object previously.
Thanks very much

Thanks for camickr's information.
And thanks uhrand,
I haven't got it sloved. I am sick on this problem.
I have the methods to let the table editable. My tableModel code is from Sun Tutorial.
It has the code like this:
public int getColumnCount() {
            return columnNames.length;
         public int getRowCount() {
            return data.length;
          public String getColumnName(int col) {
            return columnNames[col];
         public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
            return data[row][col];
         * JTable uses this method to determine the default renderer/
         * editor for each cell. If we didn't implement this method,
         * then the last column would contain text ("true"/"false"),
         * rather than a check box.
        public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
            return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
         * Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
         * editable.
        public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
            //Note that the data/cell address is constant,
            //no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
            if (col < 1) {
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
         * Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
         * data can change.
        public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
            if (DEBUG) {
                System.out.println("Setting value at " + row + "," + col
                                   + " to " + value
                                   + " (an instance of "
                                   + value.getClass() + ")");
            data[row][col] = value;
            fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
            if (DEBUG) {

                System.out.print("    row " + i + ":");
                for (int j=0; j < numCols; j++) {

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.

Carriage return in a WD table cell

Hi,
I have data in a table cell which I would like to present better by adding a carriage returns so that it appears on more than one line for example as bullet points.
I can format it using HTML but cant seem to be able to find out how to set encode to true for that cell.
Has anyone come across this problem before, or even have a simpler solution.
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil,

Placing text beside image in a table cell?

I'm creating business cards (using a Printworks template), and I want to place text to the right of the inserted picture.
I've copied and pasted the jpg fine onto the left side of the cell, yet when I try to type text, the cursor only lets me begin typing at the bottom right side of the photo, not up at the top right side, where I want the info to start.
Further, when I try to insert a Text Box into the cell, it won't go inside.
So, my question: *How do I get image and text together inside a table cell?*

I made an ultimate test.
I grouped a jpeg picture and a shape in which I inserted a piece of text. You may see it on the screenshot.
I inserting the group in the cell hoping that the group will be correctly displayed.
Nada, only the picture appears.
If I select the object embedded in the cell, copy it, paste it in an other location, I may ungroup it but the now separated shape no longer contains the original text

Table cell spanning pages

Hi all,
I'm having a rather major problem with Pages. I've managed to convince my sister-in-law to buy an iBook and star using Pages for her school work, however we've encountered a particularily difficult problem:
Pages (and AppleWorks) does not allow her to use table cells that span more than one page! Not only is this a problem because she has whole load of old MSWord documents that she needs to read, but she definitely needs to continue working like this. First because it's the only sensible thing to do, second because her teachers require her to.
Here's the problem: She creates a table, 2x8 cells (for example). In the rightmost column she generally writes quite a lot of text, often so much that it does not fit inside a cell that is limited vertically to the size of the page. In MSWord, this cell automatically wraps to the next page, however in Pages, the cell simply stops growing and the text appears to continue "behind" the next page.
We've tried to devise other layouts for her work, but tables seem to be the only feasible alternative. Using columns would not help her at all, text boxes would be too cumbersome, manually splitting the cells would make the document extremely difficult to edit (all her documents are, for a very long time, a work in progress, so editing happens all the time).
Can anyone help us out here? I'm || this close to going out to buy her a copy of MS Office, as no other word processor I've tried (Pages, AppleWorks, NeoOffice/J, OpenOffice) manages to deal with this properly. This would be a major admission of defeat.
Anyone?
Thanks,
/Eirik

Welcome to Apple Discussions Elrik
I have a Pages document with a single table that spans 11 pages. Unfortunately, it took a bit of fiddling with it & I can't remember how I did it. This is a table I had converted from AppleWorks, which also doesn't easily allow tables to span page breaks. I think I got it to do it by inserting new rows in the middle of the existing table. Then I would select & drag the contents from an unconnected table on another page into these new rows.

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.
Rip

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?

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>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>A <a href="#">test</a> </td>
    </tr>
</table>
Thanks in advanced

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!!!

Slide show in table cell and text in layer above images

I need to create a slide show within
a table cell (one cell of several). The
display should commence after the launch page has been completely loaded and only appear once. Also, there needs to be text in a layer above the slide images which changes coordinated with each slide but is generated independent of each slide and therefore may be positioned within the cell independently.
Anyone?

Hi again Nancy,
You've provided very helpful information in the past. The code for the "show" in the upper right position would be perfect if the text-bar background could be made transparent and positioned higher against the image. Your suggestion has forced me to clarify my concept in my own mind. The need for transparency hadn't occurred to me yet.
An alternative would be the upper left "show" in a bottom layer with text with a transparent background in a top layer. The text in the top layer would remain constant from the time of the page's loading; i.e., would be independent of changes in the bottom layer. Perhaps I could figure out the code necessary to coordinate that text's change of shade from one slide to the next appropriate to the slide's shade.
I'm assuming that a table cell can be partitioned into layers using HTML and each layer programmed independently using JavaScript.
Thanks again for your prompt attention.

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).

Text Wrapping in table cell

Hi folks
If the text in a table cell exceeds the width of cell then is it possible to make that cell scrollable.
Or either can we scroll only text horizontally.
I know PopIn is alternate for this problem but see if it is possible.
Thanks is anticipation,
Mandeep Virk

Hi Guys thanks for quick response,
I tried it using text wrapping but i did;nt see any difference. Can u please explain a bit it text wrapping is true then how a normal line will appear.
Is using text wrap the text comes in two lines or have some what different feel.
