Tables (Individual Cells) & CSS

I have a table in my webpage, which has 1 row and 5 columns
(just 5 cells within the table), when I select the whole table, and
apply the Style sheet, I get this code, I understand
why it is doing that, but the reason I provided this, was
because when I did the first method (applying it to the
whole table, nothing would show in the browser, just the
defaulted background etc.., however when I applied it to each
individual cell, it would show in the browser, any reasons to this?
Thanks:
<tr class="navigationBar">
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a
href="index.html">Home</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a
href="News.html">News</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a
href="cheats.html">Cheats</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a href="new downloads.html">New
Downloads</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a href="about us.html">About
Us</a></div></td>
</tr>
However, if I click each individual cell (Ctrl + Click), then
apply the style sheet, I get this code:
<tr>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="index.html">Home</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="News.html">News</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="cheats.html">Cheats</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="new downloads.html">New
Downloads</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="about us.html">About Us</a></div></td>
</tr>
p.s. sorry the code has been copied and pasted in, I could
not get the 'Attach Code" to work!

In the first case the class is applied to <tr>, which
cannot show a
background image in IE. In the second case, the class is
applied to each
individual cell, which can show the background image. In
fact, in neither
case did you apply the class to the whole table (i.e., the
<table> tag).

See this demo pasted below-

     public SimpleTableDemo() {
          super("SimpleTableDemo");

Table and cell borders

I'm using CS4. I set up a table style in my style sheet that
calls for a 2 px wide orange border. The border only outlines the
entire table but not the individual cells. Does anyone know how I
can fix that in the style sheet?
The URL is
http://www.virginiacpac.org/pages/conference.html
Thanks,

Sure,
Your table has a class of table_border, so your CSS is saying
give the table
a border that's 2px solid and orange:
.table_border {
border: 2px solid #E2832F;
padding: 2px;
That results in a border around the table only.
You wanted to give the cells in the table the border, so this
CSS...
.table_border td {
border: 2px solid #E2832F;
padding: 2px;
...says to give every cell (td) that is inside an element
with the class of
table_border (your table) an orange border.
Now, because each cell has a border of 2px, adjacent cells
appear to have a
4px border.
Applying border-collapse:collapse to the table takes care of
this.
.table_border {
border-collapse:collapse;

Take care,

I want to set up my spreadsheet to display 2 digits to the right of the decimal, even if zeros, and not have to do it to each individual cell.

I want to set up my spreadsheet to display two digits to the right of the decimal point, even if zeros, and not have to do it for each individual cell.

Select all the cells you want formatted that way (or the entire table if that's what you want)
Open the cell inspector
Set the format to "number" with 2 decimal places

Is there a way to reference just a sheet (not table and cell)

I want to have a profile overview sheet tat will draw from individual profile sheets. Is there a way to set up a cell with which table and cell to draw from, but then make it draw the sheet name from a different cell. That way I can fill in the sheet name in the appropriate cell, and all the other cells would automatically draw from the appropriate sheet.
Any tips or advise would be appreciated.

=IFERROR(INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"),"")
or
=IF(A1="","",INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"))
The first will capture errors caused by A1 being blank and errors caused by A1 specifying a non-existent sheet (i.e., typos). The second one prevents errors caused by A1 being blank but will still give an error if you specify a non-existent sheet..

Get value from Table/Recordset Cell into a JSP variable

Can anyone please help with this ?...
I need to get a cell value from a selected row of a table into a variable to pass to a java bean.
1 - The dynamic table is populated by a recordset named "rs" and has a submit button for each row .
2 - The user clicks on the corresponding button to select the row.
3 - The recordset retrieved the ID for that row in the query, but does not display it in the table.
I have tried :
<% String ID = rs.getString("bookid");%>
<% Library.bookConfirm(ID);%>
But this fails saying that it "cannot resolve variable rs..."
Yet the recordset populates correctly and its name is "rs"
Is there another way to do this perhaps ?... ie: put the id in a column of the table and get the cell value ?...
What would be the syntax to get the ID cell value of that selected row on the button click ?...
Your feed back would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Create a new rs
ResultSet rs1 = statement.executeQuery(query);
and use getstring to access the individual cell.

Creating table, two cells side by side but alignment in one cell throws off the other!

Hello,
I have a website that I am trying to display a table with two columns side by side and one column at the bottom.
so I use the following:
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
My problem is that I can't get the alignment to work right wit the first two <td> columsn that are side by side. i put text in both and an image but it doens't align properly even without the image. Every time press <return> it adjust the alignment in the other column. as you can see below, it doesn't align correctly. I can't get it to work right. images don't align, button doens't align, and the text on top doesn't align either.
If I press <return> in the right column at the bottom, then it moves the left column down and still doesn't align (auugh!)
Here is my code:
<table width="685">

Table Problems (Cell Shading and Default Format from EDD and Template)

I have two problems related to tables using Structured FrameMaker (Version 10), whilst in-processing XML.
I've designed two different table formats in my Template; Format A with black shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row, and Format B with blue shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row.
If I create a structured document from scratch and insert a table, I get the required Black (30%) and Black (3%) shading.   If I then insert an informaltable, I get the required Blue (30%) and Blue (3%) shading.
Although I've given the two table types different default formats in the EDD - Format A for table and Format B for informaltable - when I open the XML file (normally) from within FrameMaker I notice that all the tables default to Format A (black shading).   When I then import my EDD table should stay as Format A and informaltable should change to Format I.   This doesn't happen; they all stay at Format A.
I can change informaltable by manually applying Format I, this worksI. Obviously, with long documents which might have hundreds of tables we can't afford the time and manpower to do such things one at a time by hand.
Do any of the Structure gurus have a fix for this, or can someone give me a hint of what I might be doing wrong?
The second, but related question was a general one.   I see that Adobe says
"Tables
FrameMaker table formats are only partially integrated with the structure model. The content of
a FrameMaker table is always fully structured, but the control over cell border ruling is limited and
there is no structure format control over cell shading."
I believe it could be useful to apply cell shading on an individual cell basis (although I'm not sure whether this is possible at the XML level - where someboddy might give an element an attribute of, say, shading (with options, such as, green, red, blue, yellow all at, say, 30%, with a default of red, for example.
I've seen that there has been mention of plugins to achieve cell shading in structure; does anyone have an experience with such things, more to the point, can anyone point me in the right direction?   I don't mind paying fo a solution which I can implement myself.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
could you please provide some details on the EDD, RWR and some example XML?
My wild guess goes into the direction of the RWR not containing enough information that get written out into XML.
We're using table formatting with shaders too (using an attribute to control the specific formatting of each table) and it works like a charm in FM9 and FM11 when roundtripping.
The context rules are used in the table group (i.e. tgroup element). This might already solve the issue .

}Sorry for bringing this up again, but I am having a hard time trying to "align" a single "cell". In the code that I have provided, I tried to find a method from the Component object for setHorizontalAlignment() hoping to make this call:
c.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
However, it does not exist. How would I go about setting the alignment for an individual cell? I've searched the forum for "cell alignment" and found some information about using a DefaultTableCellRenderer, but I'm not sure how to merge that with the existing code that I currently have.
In this thread: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=659910 , camickr pointed out that I can use the row and column variables to find which cell to align, however once I've found the particular cell that I'd like to align, what do I do next? The component c does not have a method to set alignment in this scenario.
Thanks again,
Brianiak

You - the programmer - know that the component in question will be a label of some kind. The compiler, however, does not. As far as javac is concerned, the component could be, say, a 3D animation, in which case setHorizontalAlignement would be illegal.
In order to share our runtime knowledge with the compiler, we have to use some explicit casting:
(JLabel)c.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.SwingConstants.CENTER);Note that this will lead to runtime errors if our component is not an instance of JLabel, so it's a good idea to surround the code with:
if (c instanceof JLabel){
}

Making OnLoad work in individual cells in multiple rows

Dear Raj et al...
thanks for your help with getting the java applet (JMOL) working in individual cells/rows in report tables.
I now need some help with getting OnLoad to work in each row.
I am able to make it work in an HTML region (not in a report table) where I use <body #ONLOAD#> in the HTML region and OnLoad="document.jmol.loadinline(getElementById('P16_text').value)"; in the 'On Load' region in page template.
However if I use OnLoad="document.jmol#AUTOKEY#.loadinline(getElementById('f01_#ROWNUM#').value)";
and put body tags in the Report Attributes\Column Formatting\html expression region where I have embeded the applet tags it doesn't work.
I don't think the #AUTOKEY# and #ROWNUM# are the problem as I also tried explicitly naming the objects:
OnLoad="document.jmol1.loadinline(getElementById('f01_1').value)";
and it still didn't work.
Again any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Actually I take that back...
"I don't think the #AUTOKEY# and #ROWNUM# are the problem as I also tried explicitly naming the objects:
OnLoad="document.jmol1.loadinline(getElementById('f01_1').value)"; and it still didn't work."
The reason this didn't work is that I had two javascript calls in the on load section and I obviously didn't format them properly (the first worked not the second).
In any case, this worked once it was made the only javascript call in the on load section.
When I tried to use #AUTOKEY# or #ROWNUM# these were then flagged with an "Invalid Character" error.
Do you have any suggestions as how to have variable names put in the "OnLoad" statement and will it work for the n rows that are queried?
Thanks a lot!

Individual Cell Referencing

Hi All,
This thread actually follows on from another, which you can find here: Multiple tables feeding one table
I don't believe it is possible to reference specific cells in a table in the manner you have described. You can reference the cells in an individual selected row of a table by using the corresponding field/column name. However, I don't think you can reference individual cells anywhere in the table like you can with Excel spreadsheets for example.
Judging from the response quoted above, it will be possible to calculate values for Column4, if:
Column4 = Column2 + Column3.
Example 1
--Column1Column2---Column3-----Column4
Row 1 -
80--
85
95--
180
Row 2 -
100--
130
160--
290
Row 3 -
200--
210
220--
430
Row 4 -
200--240260--
zzz
But it will not be possible to calculate values for Column4 , if:
Column4 = a value from another row Column1 + value from row in Column2.
Example 2
--Column1Column2---Column3-----Column4
Row 1 -
80--
8595--
185
Row 2 -
100--
130160--
330
Row 3 -
200--
210220--
410
Row 4 -
200--240260--
xyz
It is highly desirable to be able to reference particular cells and their values in order to be able to manipulate them a little further (as this info is not available at BI Cube level; arrives from different BI queries).
Is anyone able to confirm please?
Regards,
Chet.

Hi Chet,
Your understanding is accurate. As far as I am aware, it is not possible to achieve Example 2 because there is no way of specifiying the row reference for a table cell in a Visual Composer formula.
Since it is possible to perform cell calculations in BI, I would suggest that you try to define one BI query with all of the required information. In order to perform cell calculations in the query it must have a fixed layout, i.e. a column structure and a row structure.

Mustafa.

Setting cell editor for individual cell in JTable

Hi there,
I want to provide individual cell editor for my JTable. Basically, my JTable shows property names and values. I want to show different cell editors for different properties.
I followed the advice in this post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=423318
but I have a question:
I looked at the code of DefaultCellEditor. It just has a single editor component (the one provided in the constructor), so all the methods use the same component and certain aspects are customized for the type of component. Again, there can be only one type of component at a time.The problem that I am facing is that I will have different components for different row/column of the same table. So how do I implement some of the methods (for example, getCellEditorValue()), when I have multiple editor components?
Also, how do I commit changes made by the user?
I am extremely confused.
Someone please help!
Thanks.

Actually, that's what I am currently doing.
Here is my cell editor class:
public class ObjectPropertyEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
       public ObjectPropertyEditor()
          super(new JTextField());
          Vector list = new Vector();
          list.add("Yes");
          list.add("No");
         myCombo = new JComboBox(list);
      public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
          boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
         String colName = (String)table.getValueAt(row,0);
         if(colName.equalsIgnoreCase("Leaf-Node?")) //if it is the "Leaf" property, return the combo box as the editor
             return myCombo;
        else //for all other properties, use JTextField of the super class
            return super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
    private JComboBox myCombo;
}The problem I have is that when I select a new item from the combo box, the new selection is not reflected in the tableModel. I don't know how I can achive that. I think I need the functionalities that DefaultCellEditor gives to its delegate when its constructor arguments is a combo box. But how can I get two different sets of functionalities (JTextField and JComboBox) ?
Please help!
Thanks.

Block, columns, files or individual cells in numbers?

Hello,
There's any way to block from editing an individual cell or file or column?
Normally I use some cells or columns to use specifyc formulas on them, with automathic results.
Not being able to block those, it's really easy to delete the formula.
I could use a Formular for editing data, and block the full table for showing results, but I would prefer to do it on the smae table as in excel, just having some columns editable and others not blocked with automathic formulas.
Is this possible somehow?
Thanks
Sergi.

I don't think so, unless maybe your formulas were on a different table on a different sheet and you just referenced them from the data entry table.
Also, have you looked into Forms? I don't use them much, but I do see that you cannot edit formulas from there.

Individual Cell Width?

I am trying to change the width of a individual cell within a
table in Dreamweaver 8, however when I click and drag to change the
width, it also grabs the cell above it, changing both cells,
however I only want to have the width of one cell changed.
I know that to do it in Microsoft products, you select the
one cell, but I have great difficulty to select an individual cell
in Dreamweaver and do not think it works anyway.
Please could someone tell me how to do it please? Thank you
n.b. I am a designer, and would prefer to know via designing
techniques

That's not how cells in a HTML table work.
You can try splitting your cell(s) and see how that works.

How to put flash as a table or cell background or put HTML elements on top of flash file?

Hi Guys,
Could anyone please suggest me that how to put flash file as a table or cell background. I want to design a website and want to put HTML elements like table, images, text on top of flash file. so its look like animation in background. please visit following websites for an example: http://www.gagudju-dreaming.com/ and http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/
Please guide me ASAP, thanks a lot in advance.
Nitz.

Hi Nitz
The first thing you must do is convert your layout from table based to css based, (tables are o/k for tabular data, but not layout) but if you have never used css for layout it may be a steep learning curve.
My recommendation is to start with the following tutorial on converting a table based comp to a css layout -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html
More info on using css is available here - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
Once you have converted your site the 'procedure' for using swf's as a background, (does not work well with flv's, but can be done using html5 video without a skin, to a limited extent) is the same as having a background-image resize automatically to the full browser view-port. The best way to learn how to do this is to view the code on a page using the background-image technique, view the code on this page - http://www.pziecina.com/indexold.php.
However, instead of having a fluid layout I would recommend using a fixed layout size to start with, as this overcomes many problems. I have uploaded a basic test page to illustrate the idea to - http://www.pziecina.com/test_ideas/swfbg_test.html. As I said the page must be resized in this example in order to see the effect, (so do not forget to resize the browser, even if it is only by 1px), but if you use a fixed size layout and your swf's size fits the desired area correctly the resize should not be required.
