Adding Tables in Plone
NOte all these html codes are non- XHTML
for the long term I no longer recommend developing tables like this.
| 1. Using Kupu (04/06) |
At the moment you can only use the most basic table using Kupu. No colours no specifications for cell padding e.t.c. Note If you design a table using an editor and then edit that page with Kupu. Kupu strips out the code. So be ware if other people use Kupu on your site. However it is possible to configure Kupu to stop this stripping mechanism |
2. Using FCK editor |
This table is created using FCK Editor. You can specify width in pixels and also use colours and specify cell paddinga and cell space. Note if the text |
3. Dreamweaver |
If you wish to use tables alot and want to have the most flexibility it is strongly advised to use an editor like Dreamweaver. It is a powerful tool and you can export the html. |
| Formatting text |
IF text appears to be squashed in tables. It maybe it has just lost its format. This text is now with normal format |
Features of tables.
| This table has a background colour of bgcolor="#0066cc". |
Most rows have a background colour of white fffff |
|
| Cell padding is the space between the text and the edge of the table. This one is set at 18. The first table is 1 |
Cell spacing is the space between one cell and the next. The first table has a cell spacing of 1. This table has cell spacing of 4 |
|
| Merged Cells This row we have Merged the Cells. Highlight a row and then Right click and "Merge cells" |
||
| These cells have been split . | Background Colour of individual Cells For these differen cells we have specified a different background colour. There's no accounting for taste. |
|
|
We have specified the table width to be 650 pixels. We could make it larger but it may then struggle to fit on some small screens. With dreamweaver you can fix table properties so it fills the size of the screen and is flexible. |
Once you have a table template you can easily adapt it slightly. See home page of Sri Chinmoy Poetry and Selected Poems |
