Working with Tables 

You can use the Table editing buttons on the toolbar to insert a table, and modify existing tables.

You can also edit the HTML directly to apply classes and other attributes to cells.

Tables may be nested.

The following buttons are available:

Table Editing:

Insert Table - displays Table dialog

Insert Row

Delete Row

Insert Column

Delete Column

Insert Cell

Delete Cell

HTML editing:

 Edit HTML source - toggles between graphical and HTML editing

 


Tip: If you find you are creating lots of tables, it may be easier to use the Form and Query components to separate out the management of the data from the formatting. There is more setup involved initially, but it will make future site maintenance much easier.

 

When constructing tables in the Text Editor set Border = 1 so you can see the Table on the page. When you are done, simply flip over into the source (using the button in the toolbar) and set Border = 0. The when you return to the display view the border will not be visible.

The cursor position in the source view will reflect the cursor position in the display view.

See example of table editing here.
