How to Use Tables
Why Use Tables?
Tables are a great tool for organizing data, photos, and blocks of text. They can transform cluttered pages into pages that are easy to scan and visually interesting. They also can add a design element to your page when you fill them with images or photos.If you haven't experimented with the "Table" tool in the EasyEdit Toolbar yet, give it a try!
Tips:
To edit a table: Highlight the table and then right-click to bring up the table menu. You can add/delete rows and columns, select an entire table, change the width of the table, change the color of the table and change the look of the table borders (including choosing the "no border" option.)To center a table on the page: Before you create the table, place your cursor on the page and then select the "centered" text button in the toolbar. Once your cursor is centered, then click the "Table" button and continue.
Here are some examples of creative use of tables:
Example #1, wikiFido: There are two tables-- a horizontal table stacked on top of a long vertical table.
Example #2, from a Bob Dylan site: Tables here create a photo/caption directory. Notice that the table borders are hidden for a cleaner look.

Example #3:Tables can organize free-form photos into well laid-out photo galleries.

Example #4: How tables can organize text into lists that are easy to scan. Tables can also group text for organization.

I'm not able to merge cells in tables any more. This could be done before. I tried both the latest firefox and IE on Windows XPt.
I tried it here: http://www.wikisandbox.com/page/table-merge-center What's wrong? |

Right-clicking on the table does not give me the option of adding or removing rows and columns, as the documentation claims it will. Instead, the menu offers the choice of Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All, and Spell Check This Field.
Is there a way in Firefox 2.0 for Macintosh to add/remove rows and columns in a table? |
