Tables in dreamweaver.....

Im creating a table based site, and would like a single black
line running down each side of the table it is based upon. Have
upgraded from fp to dreamweaver so I can use php, but have two
problems with the tables;
1 - the borders are '3D', not the single black line I want
2 - the borders appear on all 4 sides of the cell; I cant get
it to appear just down left and right
any help would be much appreciated
cheers

Change this -
<table border="2"....
to this -
<table border="0"....
And add this to your stylesheet -
table { border:2px black; border-style:none solid none solid;

I'm getting an error message after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse.

I'm getting a couple of messages after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse. I have compared the code of the page with the table with the page before I inserted the table and cannot find anything missing. the web address is http://gourmetdreams.com/weekly-menu.html
How can I clear this up?
I also noticed that when I uploaded the file there was one error: "- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem."

Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

Invisible Tables In Dreamweaver CS3

Hello – I’m having a problem accessing the proper table in Dreamweaver CS3. In the past I never had a problem with this now all of a sudden I cannot figure out what I did to change this setting. I want my tables without borders, which I have achieved by setting it to zero border… however it now completely disappears from the page while I’m working on it and I have nothing to define my table. In the past when working with zero borders it would still define the structure of the table but wouldn’t appear when published on the web. I went into view / visual aids / and checked table borders and still nothing. How can I view my table boundaries while working with no border? For years I had no problem with this and now I’m really puzzled as to what I have done to change the setting. Please, if anyone can help I’d appreciate it.

Even with a black background, you should be able to see the dotted lines surrounding a table.
I just tested with a black background with Visual Aids> table borders turned on and could see the outline, and then turned the borders off, and then I certainly couldn't a thing :-)
Sounds like something's broken in DW...if DW starts to act a bit weird- this frequently means you may have a corrupt personal configuration folder.
Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.
For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ
Hopefully this will fix the problem for you.

Need help with tables in dreamweaver

So I can insert a table in dreamweaver but fine tuning it is
a problem.
I cannot find how to access individual cell properties to
apply borders on only the sides of the cells I want. Also I can
configure the width of the columns only by dragging the divider
left and right. It does not allow me to input figures anywhere to
set column widths.

To set the widths in the HTML, look in the properties panel
and find the "cell" area near the bottom left. You can enter a
pixel value there.
To set borders for individual sides you should use CSS. Read
up in the help section about external style sheets. You can also
set your widths there if you like.

Sql type not recognized: 'int unsigned' when I expand table in Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver warning message - "sql type not recognized: 'int
unsigned'"
This was happening in Dreamweaver MX and now in CS3. The
pages using these tables are not throwing errors when I test them,
but each time I expand a table in Dreamweaver, I get these warning
messages. Often I get the same message multiple times and must
click OK each time before I can proceed. Just now I had to OK the
warning three times for a table that only has one integer field and
two fields total.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bagger and Ken
With some help from Randy Edmunds at Adobe was able to find a
solution to this bug.
*note I am still using DW MX 2004 so there may be some
variation with your version.
ANSWER: You need to add the sql type "int unsigned" to the
dwscriptsServer.js in Dreamweaver's files.
The file to ammend is [your path to the DW
root]\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\
dwscriptsServer.js
do a search for the alert: "MM.MSG_SQLTypeAsNumNotInMap" and
then go up from there (it is about line 2059 in the DW MX 2004
file).
underneath a["unsignedint"] = 19;
add a new line a["int unsigned"] = 19; // variation of
unsigned int
I then deleted the delete the FileCache.dat (from step #4
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19105)
and restarted DW.
That should fix it!
If that doesn't work then search the DW folders for
"MM.MSG_SQLTypeAsNumNotInMap" and ammend the sql data types where
the functions raise the error alert.
I hope this is helpful!
Cheers
Martin
ps I would be using the CS3 web premium suite if it wasn't
for the fact that the UK upgrade price is (£539) - >US$1000
which is more then double what US customers pay. (OK my whinge

Can't insert tables in Dreamweaver MX

I am unable to insert any tables in Dreamweaver MX. I am
running Windows Vista Home Premium. I've had some difficulties with
the program since purchasing this new computer. Does anyone know a
fix?
Thanks!

This is the fix y'all:
. Delete FileCache.dat files from the Dreamweaver user
configuration folder.
Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat,
MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the
Dreamweaver user configuration folder. It is recommended to delete
the FileCache.dat file if you are experiencing a JavaScript error
related to "dwscripts" or if you are receiving a "translators were
not loaded" error message. The string of characters after
"FileCache-" may differ on your machine. The location of the
FileCache.dat file depends your operating system and your version
of Dreamweaver. Note that on Windows, the Application Data and
AppData folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows
Explorer folder options are set to View Hidden Folders.

Creating a Table in Dreamweaver

Hey everyone...I know I must be the bazillionth person throwing down this question, but I am trying to get a quick portal page up and the only way I know to do this is construct a table in Dreamweaver (7 columns, 8 rows, etc.) and then throw in pieces of the page until it's all there - sort of like a puzzle.
But...why the bloody-bloody am I getting a horizontal space inbetween all my rows when I go to preview it in Safari, Firefox....?
It's like the honeybadger. The table don't give...well anyway.
Can anyone help or advise me?
Thanks in advance!

Here is
the code!

Filling a table in Dreamweaver with different lists based on user decisions

Hi, I'm very new to Dreamweaver and web design as a whole, so this might seem like a far fetched idea.
What I want to do is have a situation where a user could click one of 4 buttons, upon which a predefined list would appear, presumably populating a table. As in, there are four lists (A, B, C, and D), and clicking on the respective button would make that respective list appear in a table. I only assume that a table is the appropriate option here. Furthermore, I want the user to be able to click on an element in the appearing list to make an image appear.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? Am I on the right track with a table? I might be thinking too much in java...
Thank you very much.

I might be thinking too much in java...
I believe you have confused Java with JavaScript. The two are very different, and usually when talking about web pages and interactive effects on them, it's the latter that would be relevant.
You could do what you want most easily by building a page with all 4 tables (each containing the desired display effects already applied) explicitly coded (presumably one after the other). Each of these tables should be given a unique ID value (e.g., id="table1", id="table2", etc.) Then you would use CSS to hide all 4 tables using the style "display:none;". Then you would apply a javascript behavior to each of your buttons to change the CSS style on the table from "display:none;" to "display:block". That would make only that table appear. In addition, each of those buttons would have to set the style on the three other tables back to "display:none" to account for any table that may have been previously made visible.
You can do this style changing using the DW behavior called "Change Property", by changing the display style on the desired table to "block", and on the other tables to "none;".
This is a lot for a beginning user to absorb, so ask questions as you need answers. I don't think there would be any easier way to do this.

Tables in Dreamweaver CS6

How do you specify the thickness of an individual table cell in Dreamweaver CS6? I had a page created using CSS but our website hosting software doesn't recognize CSS, so I am back to good old HTML and table layouts. No matter what I try, I can not get the individual cell thickness to change. If I add a border to the entire table, it only affects the outer borders, and not the internal cell borders.

Use cellspacing and bgcolor for the table and bgcolor for the <td> cells
Example:
<table bgcolor="#333333" width="510" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="ffffff">Text</td>
<td bgcolor="ffffff">Text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
<td bgcolor="ffffff"> </td>
</tr>

Tables in Dreamweaver Vs Text and Image boxes in Golive?!!?

I have built a website in GoLive and to edit a page you insert text boxes, images boxes, etc and then can move each one freely and easily by simply dragging it. It seems when I transferred the site to Dreamweaver it is now in a table with very little freedom of movement? It is all in cells, and seems restricting! Is this just Dreamweaver, or can I turn this optional view off???

You are trapped between the smoke and mirrors of the basic approach that GL
takes (I'm not trying to be pejorative here), and the "reality of HTML"
approach that DW takes.
What GL calls 'text boxes', 'image boxes', and other such usages, are really
just absolutely positioned page elements that have been renamed so that you
can grasp what they do more simply. In Dreamweaver these are called "AP
divs", where the "AP" stands for "Absolutely Positioned", and the "divs"
stands for
tags.
The reality is this - you cannot just move things around on the page without
making them be absolutely positioned. This seems like the easy solution.
The problem is that using absolutely positioned elements willy-nilly is just
a bad approach to creating web pages.
So, let me ask you - why are you migrating to Dreamweaver? If you don't
have some familarity with HTML and CSS, and if you aren't inclined to
acquire it, then you will be in for a VERY rough ride.

Problem inserting a table with Dreamweaver

Hello,
I have been using Dreamweaver for about a year and 6 months
now, but this morning come across the following problem.
I go to insert a table, but when I click ok, it comes up with
this error -
C:\users\jamie\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\DreamweaverMX\Confiuration\Objects\Common\Table. htm
I am unsure of what the problem is, so i'm unable to find a
solution.
If anyone has come across the same problem, or knows a
solution, I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Jamie

What does the error message say?
You are using DMX - is it 6.0 or 6.1? And you are running it
on Vista? You
know that DMX is not supported on Vista, right?

How can I put a background image into the cell of a table using Dreamweaver CC.

I want to place an image in a table cell and then be able to place editable HTML in the same cell on top of image. I also have Dreamweaver CS6. I can't get either one to do it using solution I found searching on web. Please help ASAP. What am I doing wrong. Example code would be great. Thanks!

No tables required for any of this. You simply need a 3-column starter page.
In DW, go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.
Select a 3-column layout from the 3rd panel.
Hit Create button.
Learn to use CSS floats, margins and padding to align elements. DO NOT use positioning.
Start with & bookmark these links for future reference:

Page Table = 100% (Dreamweaver CS4)

I have previously used a table 3 rows by 3 columns. The top
and bottom row are set to specific heights and the middle row is
set at 100%. If I use Frontpage - The middle row will ALWAYS fill
the entire screen regardless of size so that the top and bottom
rows are always at the top and bottom.
I just switched to dreamweaver and this is no longer
possible? At least not as far as I can see. If I insert the same
table, set the same sizes etc, dreamweaver ALWAYS ignores the
middle row being 100% and it only gets set to the actual content of
the middle row?
Is there any way in dreamweaver to get that middle row to
100%?

How do I move a table in Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi,
I am creating my home page in Dreamweaver CS4 and I made a table. I cannot figure out how to move the table up to the top of the page where I want it. Any ideas on how to move a table?
Thanks,
ashmic19

Add this to your CSS code:
body {margin:0; padding:0}
And your table code should begin immediately after the <body> tag in your HTML.
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td> something here</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Incidentally, table-based layouts are NOT the best approach. You might like to take this opportunity to learn how to work with CSS Layouts. It is the modern web standard.
