Question about adding a Table - Page 1

Hello sorry to bother you all again but I have question regarding "Tables"
I want to add a table with 2 columns and at least 4 to 5 rows, the border should be at least 1 px in black.
Now is this possible to add in RSD or RLMP? or is it something that can only be added with a HTML Editor such as CC Editor? Is it something that I can make using just the row and column on RSD or RLMP, I have been trying but from what I see I cannot?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Ray

I think that the container element is very similar to tables

He is not doing exactly what you want in this tutorial but from it you can probably figure out how to do what you want.

I did this google search and the tutorial was the first answer.

If you look in RLMP you will find it has a table element already built into it. I've used it a few times for some slim sized menus, but from what I've seen it has some big limitations within the program. Outside of it though you can edit the code to adjust your margins and paddings same as you would otherwise. Play with it a bit in the program and I'm sure you'll find it to be pretty simple to get it working and just do some adjustments when you export the code. :)

Greg - Thanks for taking the time to check this, I appreciate it and will look into it in depth later.

Thanks Jo for letting me know, I did not really think that RLMP had that element ( was not paying attention) and I have been trying to only use RSD instead. I will try it also later but if all fails I will try a UList or something like that.

Thank you both! Ray

Hi Guys;

I'm having the same type of problem. I insert some table code into an HTML element in RSD. But when it displays online, certain parameters do not show up.(border, background color)

It appears RSD is not able to handle all parameters.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

It would be really helpful if you either shared the table code you are using or the project file. Without that, it is difficult to say. The more you help us help you the better we can help you... ;)

Hi Scott;

I have attached the files for you to check out. If you were to check the php file as a standalone, online, you will see the borders.

Thanks.

Remember that when you create your classes for the styles of your table and table cells, all your classes must be correct. Here is a very simple, non-table example. If the css sheet has this:

p.paragraph.style24{
color=#ff0000;
}

that means that style24 happens inside a paragraph that has a style named paragraph. The code would be:
<p class="paragraph">blah blah <span class="style24">blah blah blah</span> more blah blah blah</p>


Looking in your RSD file, the html element has a class assigned. Therefore, when you are working with your own css to define the styles, you have to also reference the html element that contains it. Let's say you want to make a table cell have a 5 pixel red solid border.

The html element class name is: html-element-4
The table cell classname is: bordercell

When you create your style in your custom stylesheet, it would be:
.html-element.html-element-4.bordercell{
border: 5px solid red;
}

Thank you, Brian for the explanation. I shall give that a try.

I do understand what you are saying with reference to classes. But I'm not talking about classes (style sheets). I am referring to the parameters available in the HTML table tag; like the border paramater. (<table border="1"><tr><td> blah blah</td></tr></table>

I realize that the Table tag is being phased out, but it still does work on my server, at least.

My question is this....shouldn't the table parameters take priority over the DIV that the table is in? In other words, the div class should have no affect on the table parameters.

Sorry if I'm missing the point. It's just that over the years my training says that the parameters, or classes, closest to the content takes precedence.

I am a bit new to intense css programming, so I'm sure I'm not seeing something completely. :(

Thanks so much for your help and time.

Whilst I have no reason to assume that they are necessarily authoritative, the Compatibiblity Notes at http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_table_border.asp say, "The border attribute of <table> is not supported in HTML5. Use CSS instead." I am very much a novice with html5 and css3, but wonder whether that perhaps may be the problem.
