Table cell links

Got this link but cant seem to get them to work, need a
little help if possible, ill talk you through what ive done,
hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
1st hear is the link i got the example from : .[
table cell
links
i made myself a wee demo table in dreamweaver.
created a new CSS sheet with the following:
table.navbar {
border-collapse: collapse;
table.navbar td {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
table.navbar td a{
display: block;
width: 9em;
padding: 3px;
text-decoration: none;
table.navbar td a:link, table.navbar td a:visited {
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
table.navbar td a:hover, table.navbar td a:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: #666;
I then attached the CSS sheet to the table but only a few
minor things have changes, the entire table cell isnt showing as a
link neither is it changing color like the demo on the website.
HELP!
What and where have i went wrong, thanks

I used the styles you supplied and applied it to a table 1
column x 3
rows... this is the code and it works for me....
You need to give your links an actual link, in this case I
used a null link
for demo purposes. Copy and paste the code into a new DW
window and see if
it works for you. White background, grey on hover over the
cell. Here's
another example that may be of interest (look at the code)

to Garys' tutorial) and

Importing tables with linked cell data from excel to indesign

Hey,
I'm designing a catalog and have been linking the tables in InDesign from a spreadsheet in excel. In my spreadsheet, I am linking cells from a master sheet to another sheet so that I when I update the information on one sheet, it will update throughout the spreadsheet.
Now that I have the linked cells set up in my spreadsheet, I've inputed the tables into InDesign but: the table cells in InDesign containing linked cells from within the spreadsheet do not appear.
I've gone through all the import table options in InDesign and cannot find a way to make it work.
Does anyone have an answer or input?
Thanks,
KT

When we are updating the excel sheet it automatically updates the link in InDesign and it's continually changing. Does CSV break the links in excel or does it keep them and allows InDesign to read the linked cells as well?
Thanks for your response!

Adding a link to a table cell question

ho can i add a link into a cell containing an image without increasing its size?
I am trying to make a link out of a table cell containing an image.
the problem is that the highlight frame around the image increases the size of the cell (and i cant have this since i imported all the small table images from photoshop wich constitute a big image).

no i am just exporting fragmented gif images from photoshop that i want to assemble again in dreamweaver through a table.
when i apply the link to one of the cells, dreamweaver increases its size (by 1 or 2 pixels) wich causes border gaps between cells and i cant have that.
i am using this cell as a button. all i want is to apply a link to a cell containing an image without modifying its size.
here's the code :

How to link a table cell?

Hi,
What would be the best way to link this table cell? I want the entire cell to be linked rather than just the text inside it.
<table width="160" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="backgroundbox-video">
                      <tr>
<td width="167" align="left" valign="top"><p class="navheader-lg">Video Clip</p>
                            <p class="navheader-sm">Watch a short<br />
                              testimonial video</p></td>
                      </tr>
Thanks so much
Laura

Here is what I have in the style sheet...
.vidA a {
    text-decoration: none;
    display:block;
    background-image: url(../images/videoclip-imageandcolor-tr.gif) no-repeat scroll right bottom;
    background-color:#B1D6D5;
    padding:10px;
.vidA a:link, .vidA a:visited, .vidA a:hover{
    color:black;
.vidA a:hover{
    background-color:#4AA3C9;
.vidA p {
    margin:5px;
.audioA a {
    text-decoration: none;
    display:block;
    background-image: url(../images/audioclip-imageandcolor-tr.gif) no-repeat scroll right bottom;
    background-color:#B1D6D5;
    padding:10px;
.audioA a:link, .vidA a:visited, .vidA a:hover{
    color:black;
.audioA a:hover{
    background-color:#4AA3C9;
.audioA p {
    margin:5px;
and here is what I have for those tables...
<td align="right" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="160" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="backgroundbox-video">
                      <tr>

      <span class="navheader-lg">Video Clip</span><br />
      <span class="navheader-sm"><br />
      Watch a short<br />
      testimonial video</span></a></td>
                      </tr>
                    </table></td>
                  </tr>
                  <tr>
                    <td align="right" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="160" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="backgroundbox-audio">
                      <tr>
                        <td class="audioA" width="167" height="100" align="left" valign="middle"><a href="http://www.12results.com/video1.html" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.12results.com/video1.html','','width=400,height=400');return false"> <span class="navheader-lg">Audio Clip</span><br />
                              <span class="navheader-sm"><br />
                              Listen to a 40 min<br />
interview about SAW</span></a></td>
                      </tr>
                    </table></td>
---I completely removed the styles for those tables (was background-video, background-audio) because all it had was the background styling (which you said to remove) and can't see any other reason to have it there?
So it's perfect except for the background images are not showing...so did I do something wrong in the fireworks/make transparent process do you think?
Thanks...

SAP Portal development-Table Controls having link to table cell content

Hello all,
I am creating the SAP portal in which i am using Table controls to display the data. I want the function should be called whenever user clicks the table cell content. i.e. i want to create the function link to table cell.
Please reply soon.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
You haven't mentioned if you are using Webdynpro or HTMLB JSPDynPages.
If its the webdynpro, you can declare then and there itself that the content to the table column is a row my changing the property.
If it is a HTMLB component TableVIew that you are trying to use, you can include a TableCellRenderer Class which renders the cells of the table at the runtime as links or buttons or whatever you want to put.
So let me know, what exactly you are trying to use, then finding a solution will be more clear.

Sujana

Can i do an invisible link in a table cell

Hi people, can anyone help.
i need to create an invisible link in a table .
i was originally using a photoshop image as my web page and
placing links on it using an image map. Giving me links hovering
over glowwing text in the original photo to take me to other pages.
Now i have changed my ways and placed the image in a layout
table and used style sheets and cells to position, add video and
links in cells in the table, with the old image now being
background for the table.
i still want to use the photoshop background images' glowing
text to link to aswell as my other video and text links but cannot
trigger the image map as the glowing text is not a foreground image
therefore has nothing to link to.
Adding a table cell around the section i want to link , i
need to place an invisible image in the cell giving something to
link to, which would give the appearence of linking to the the
background glow text, i cant fill a box with same colour text to
look invisible because the background image is too complex. And i
can't mimick my cool glow text in dreamweaver, so
what can i do.? Link to anchors on other pages ? Invisible
link in cell ?
Really appreciate your help !
Thanks

You can add a transparent gif - create a 1x1px clear.gif, and
then size
it any size you want in your table cell. Add a link to that
gif.

How to create a context menu in ALV table cell editor(Webdynpro abap )

Hello Experts,
I am having a problem in creating a context menu in a table cell editor in the ALV table output.I have assigned a 'lta' as the cell editor.But befor assigning the lta as cell editor I have assigned the menu to the lta.But when the view is rendered I can see the lta with the actioned assigned to it.But I cannot see the context menu.
The code snippet below:
"Create menu for each coloumn
create OBJECT lo_menu_actions type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU EXPORTING
      id = 'MITM_ACTIONS'.
lo_menu_actions->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_actions->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'ACTIONS' ).
"ADd menu items
CREATE OBJECT lo_menu_item_create type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU
exporting
    id = 'MITM_CREATE_EXPRESSION'.
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'Create' ).
"Add item 1
lo_menu_actions->ADD_ITEM( VALUE = lo_menu_item_create ).
" Set the cell editor for each column cell(link to an action)
LOOP AT lt_node_dec_tab_cols INTO ls_node_dec_tab_cols .
    lv_column_name = ls_node_dec_tab_cols-object_name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( lv_column_name ).
   "Create 'lta' Ui item
    CREATE OBJECT lo_lta TYPE cl_salv_wd_uie_link_to_action.
    lo_lta->set_menu( value = lo_menu_actions ).
    lo_lta->set_text_fieldname( lv_column_name ).
    lr_column->set_cell_editor( lo_lta ).
    IF ls_node_dec_tab_cols-is_result EQ abap_true.
      lr_column->set_cell_design( value =
                  cl_wd_table_column=>e_cell_design-key_medium ).
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Prakash,
I have not come across this requirement till now to have context menu in a cell editor of alv.
Unfortunately the implementation of method SET_MENU of alv ui elements ( ex: cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view ) is not updating alv configurable table, instead it just stores in a global attribute as string. Hence has no effect on context menu.
If your user is very particular about this requirement of having context menu in cell editor, you can go for a normal table. Because, normal table's cell editor has the property to set the menuID as we do it for other ui elements.

Rama

Table cell color in webdynpro for ABAP

Hai,
I need to differentiate some table cell values using color change or some other way.
while populating table values, I have a field like mandatory or optional. According to mandatory field, I need to chage color the text of the another column in the same table called "name".
Another help about the table cell popin, I have a column name like "Name" in the table like link to action. If a person clicks on any of the "name" cells, the descriptive value should come as table cell popin.
If you have sample code, that will help me lot.
Thanks,
I will reward points any type of helpful answer.

Mail.app: text in table cells in incoming formatted mail - problems replying

MacOS 10.9.2
mail.app 7.2, threading enabled
Sometimes I receive a formatted email that is really difficult to reply to, when I want to intersperse my reply text among the incoming paragraphs.
The trouble occurs when multiple incoming paragraphs are grouped. I can’t open up vertical space for my reply text inside the groups.
If I click anywhere in the group, mail.app marks the group with a surrounding rounded-corner grey rectangle, with a X-in-a-circle “close icon” at the upper left corner.
When I look at the raw source of the incoming message, I see that the groups correspond to table cells, that is, the sending mail client enclosed the paragraphs within a <td> … </td> pair.
The sending email client is sending me a table, for no clear reason — the group doesn’t correspond to anything obvious in the message thread.
I’m guessing we won’t ever know why some email clients group paragraphs like this, but I’d like to do my best to adapt, so I can keep up with my incoming email.
Yeah, I can ask my correspondents to use a different email client, or perhaps different settings in the same client, but except for the few tekkies among my correspondents, this isn’t really practical. I can also ask my clients to use unformatted messages, but THAT is a whole different issue, and frequently isn’t practical, either.
My questions:
Q1: What’s the point of the grey rectangle and the “close icon”? (Is this mail.app’s way of saying, “I received this crazy formatting, almost impossible to process, so I’m making it easy for you to just delete the whole mess”? Or what?)
Q2: Is there any SIMPLE way to untangle (modify or remove) these groupings within mail.app? (I guess I can access the raw html, copy-and-paste it into another app, modify it, and paste the results back into my reply. Yuck!)
Q3: Am I missing a really obvious work-around or fix?
TIA

In your question, you indicated that you are running Firefox 8. Is that correct? It might be difficult to diagnose issues with that version because most people have moved on to Firefox 12 (plus or minus 1 version). Can you upgrade?
It's hard to think of a reason that ordinary text or links in ordinary text would not display. For embedded images or videos, one possibility is a difference in the protocol, i.e., HTTP (not secure) versus HTTPS (secure).
Hopefully someone else will have a better guess (or actual knowledge!).
Regarding the blue lines in a message, that usually indicates the earlier message was forwarded a few times. I don't know whether Gmail will let you reformat that area or whether you have to clean it in another application (e.g., for plain text, in Notepad) and paste it back in.

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

Hi Knochenhort,
I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
Hope that helps!

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

How to make the diagonal line in the swing table cell?

Hi all,
How to make the diagonal line in the swing table cell just like the link below?
http://61.132.17.188/webber/table.gif

One improvement.. To get a line that is neat, use a bit of Graphics2D
    public void paintComponent(java.awt.Graphics g)
        int w = getSize().width;
        int h = getSize().height;
        // draw a line between (0,0) and (w,h)
        g.setColor(getForeground());
        if (strTop == null)
            strTop = " ";
        if (strBottom == null)
            strBottom = " ";
            java.awt.Graphics2D g2 = (java.awt.Graphics2D)g;
          g2.setRenderingHint(java.awt.RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,java.awt.RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
          //g2.setStroke(new java.awt.BasicStroke(14.0f));
        g.drawLine(0, 0, w, h);
        //the following lines will draw the two strings,
        //one above the top of the line and the above below it.
        g2.drawString(strTop, (w/2)+2, (h/2)-2);
        g2.drawString(strBottom, 2, (h / 2) + 2);
        //the x,y for drawString are only based on assumption.   //do necessary changes to suit ur needs.
    }Then create a TableCellRenderer and set it to the Table Header for ur table's 1st row.....
Cheers
