Hello,

I have searched and don't come up with regarding this and wonder if anyone else has experienced the. if so, how have you worked around this?

I seem to have difficulty in formatting tables in both TinyMCE and JCE - the behaviour/results seem to be alike in both editors.

My particular issue is that if i have an existing table, if I go to insert an additional row, the row height of the new row may look similar but once saved and viewd from the front end, the rowheight is different to all the other rows. I have checked cell spacing and cell padding and applied to all cells in table with horendous results. What can happen is that ALL row heights change which look as if a greater amount of spacing have myseriously been included at the click of a (the save) button.

No amount of tinkering with cell size, spacing, padding etc seems to have any affect at all.

Anyone had this experience? What can I loot at to gain full control over table format settings?

Thank you

I'm going nuts trying to get tables to look right in Joomla too, nobody is talking. I think this is just a fatal flaw of Joomla that isn't going to be fixed anytime soon.

I'm starting to get the impression content articles in Joomla has to be limited to simple word-wrap text. Anything more complicated than that and you run into formatting issues between the WYSIWYG (and I use that acronym loosely) and the front end.

What you see, is not what you get.

Sadly, I tend to agree. There do seem to be limitations. Very sad indeed.

It's very sad indeed because tables are so necessary sometimes and I agree, this 'flaw' does bring down the whole Joomla experience somewhat.

I'm surprised that various releases of Joomla and editors are made available yet the improved handling of tables never gets touched. Something for the wishlist perhaps.

Ditto..I too am having problems with tables. In IE7 I can't seem to choose multiple cells, and in Firefox 3.08 I can, but sometimes I have to click the cells in different orders to highlight all of them.

I too have gone back to DW to create tables and then paste the code.

Hope this is resolved in the future ;)

Hello there! I had the same problem when I found this thread. Since there is no answer I had to work it out myself, so here it is:

The problem is caused by the template.css which has styling for the table (border,margins,padding etc). I disabled them and now it works fine.

Hope it helps. :)

I managed to fix some of my table formatting problems like this:

1. Go to a page on your web site and look at the page source. In the <head> section there should be a line like <link rel="stylesheet" href="/templates/rt_afterburner_j15/css/light4.css" type="text/css" /> This defines the .css file the page is using - this is the file you need to edit.

2. The line to edit is the first one. I took out the final entry of 'vertical-align:baseline;' and voila! Suddenly my table formatting looks right.

Me too experienced this issue about 'what you see is not exactly what you get'.
I was surprised to know that components often use tables where Joomla makers says 'table free css', I found issue when preparing custom template when I am fixing div width and inserting component in it, it uses more than what is declared in my custom css. If I see in firebug it shows tables are being used for components.
Since I am beginner to Joomla, may need to explore more.....

Hi

I am having the same problem, it's driving me mad. Is this the code (in template.css) I should edit?


Code:
/* Parameter Table */
 
table.paramlist {
 
 margin-top: 5px
 
}
 
  table.paramlist td.paramlist_key {
 
  width: 128px;
 
 text-align: left;
 
 height: 30px
 
}
