HTML element: table
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on page164.
The HTML tag of a Table is <table>. Tables are divided into table rows with the <tr> tag. Table
rows are divided into table data with the <td> tag. A table row can also be divided into table
headings with the <th> tag.
The tags <thead>, <tbody> and <tfoot> can be used to group the header, body, or footer content
in a table, respectively.
For information about HTML tables and a list of attributes, see

Inserting a Table
1.
On the toolbar, click the Insert Table button, or on the menu select Insert > Table >
Standard.
2. Enter the Table's desired attributes:
l
ID: a unique identifier for the Table. IDs are used to access the Table from scripts
and as CSS selectors for style rules.
l
Class: A class identifier for the Table. Classes can be shared between elements
and are used to access the Table from scripts and as CSS selectors for style rules.
l
The number of rows for the header, body and footer of the Table.
l
The number of columns
l
The width of the Table.
3.
Check the option Absolute to give the Table an absolute position, or use the Location
drop-down to select where to insert the Table:
l
At cursor position inserts it where the cursor is located in the template.
l
Before element inserts it before the HTML element in which the cursor is currently
located. For example if the cursor is within a paragraph, the insertion point will be
before the <p> tag.*
