Is there any way to place a border around Table 02 widget?

Wiffle wrote on 7/30/2018, 5:02 PM

I imported the Table 02 widget from the Content Catalog and sized it to 26 rows and 4 columns. I added the data to the cells but now I think that it would look much better with a border. Problem is that I can't find any way to do it. I'm sure that there has to be a way but it is eluding me. There does not seem to be an 'Edit' box below the table and nothing if I look at Web Properties.

While I'm at it, is there a way to change the font for all cells at once rather than having to change 104 cells one at a time?

Thanks

Hi Wiffle

Use the Drop Shadow tools as shown below

I have not found (yet) a global setting for changing the font in a table.

Thanks John,

I tried your suggestion but it has a strange effect on the table. If I preview the page without the drop shadow everything is fine. When I preview the page after adding the drop shadow it shows the words "Table Caption" in the header of the table. I added a new table to see if that would do the same and it does. It is ok before the drop shadow but adds the words Table Caption after shadow is added. Very strange!

Here is the table before adding a drop shadow.

And here is the table after adding the drop shadow.

(BTW) Are you the only one who answers questions around here? :) It makes me feel like I'm being a pest with all these questions. I am having fun learning WD and I always try to find an answer either in video tutorials or in the forums before posting a question.

Thanks again.

How odd - I never noticed that when previewing will have a look when I can.

Not as far as I know, though being retired means I am in the forum often. I also used to teach Digital Photography and Web Design and have a lot of experience with a wide range of software.

I am retired as well at age 76 but I do enjoy working on the computer. I used to program back in the DOS days with dBase III and basic. Currently I do a bit of programming in Purebasic. Being a ham radio operator I have a website dedicated to promoting that hobby and I purchased WD Premium to redo that website. While it takes away the need for programming, it still has a bit of a learning curve.

I'm curious if you get the same results with that table and the drop shadow as I did.

Hi John

I can replicate the problem, there would appear to be a bug with the drop shadow image replacing part of the table HTML.

This is the relevant section without the drop shadow:

<div id="templateMinProgramVersion:5815.1.0" style="position:absolute; left:75px; top:340px"></div>
 <span class="xr_ar" style="left:75px;top:340px;width:700px;height:204px; background-color: #FFFFFF;"></span>
 <span class="xr_ar" style="left:75px;top:340px;width:144px;height:38px; background-color: #0074B5;"></span>
 <div class="xr_txt Normal_text Table_heading xr_s0" style="position: absolute; left:77px; top:366px; width:140px; height:10px;">

The 2 emboldened/italic tags are the start of the table with the DIV being a positionable 'container' for the table
this is with the drop shadow
 
  <img class="xr_rn_ xr_ap" id="templateMinProgramVersion:5815.1.0" src="index_htm_files/9.png" alt="Admin" title="" style="left:30px;top:295px;width:791px;height:295px;"/>
 <div class="xr_txt Normal_text Table_caption xr_s0" style="position: absolute; left:75px; top:366px; width:150px; height:10px;">
 

The drop shadow img tag has replaced the div tag which should not have happened, the same section of code corrected to add the drop shadow is:

<div id="templateMinProgramVersion:5815.1.0" style="position:absolute; left:75px; top:340px"></div>
<img class="xr_rn_ xr_ap" id="templateMinProgramVersion:5815.1.0" src="index_htm_files/9.png" alt="Admin" title="" style="left:30px;top:295px;width:791px;height:295px;"/>
 <span class="xr_ar" style="left:75px;top:340px;width:700px;height:204px; background-color: #FFFFFF;"></span>

and works correctly as shown below (ignore the smudge in the centre cell that was a drop shadow added to the text to see if this would also affect the table - it didn't )

This needs reporting as a bug with a link to this topic - you can file the bug report here.

I will also file a bug report.

How did you access the HTML code to change it?

@Wiffle

. . . . How did you access the HTML code to change it? . . . .

This was done after exporting the website in Notepad++ - I use this text editor because it colour codes the HTML code.

Yes, I use Notepad++ as well. I reported the bug in the table / drop shadow and they said that they were aware of it. They said that it has been fixed and it would be out in the next update, whenever that may be.

Thanks John

Hi John

. . . . I use Notepad++ as well. . . .

It has a very useful plugin - Compare which I used to spot the problem with the HTML comparing a page without the border and one with.

I put in a bug report yesterday as well.

Thanks
