html table problems in TiddlyWiki

[David Gifford]

Hi all

I created an html table in Tiddlywiki, and needed to add rowspans to the first column. I discovered that it was pushing the rowspan to the last column of the table. So I figured it was the TiddlyWiki syntax for colspans and rowspans that was causing the problem.

So I changed the tiddler type to text/html. This did indeed allow me to do colspans and rowspans normally.

But now I have two problems:

1. Since it is a long table (31 rows), it is putting the table in a box and making it vertical scroll.
2. Nothing from the stylesheet for that TiddlyWiki applies to the table. So for example, cell padding I would have to apply to EVERY cell.

How might I get the table to display without the vertical scroll, and what options do I have for creating global styles for the table?

[David Gifford]

It would also be good to know would be how to deactivate or counteract the default TiddlyWiki colspan and rowspan syntax so that if I put an html table in a regular tiddler it will behave normally.

Can you show the code you were using?

Many thanks,

It looks to me like the htmlparser will have to be hacked to add "scrolling:no" to the internal iframe. This is odd, because the "scrolling" attribute is deprecated and you're supposed to use CSS. But I couldn't find CSS that would actually turn off scroll. (overflow:hidden did nothing)  My research suggested that this is a known problem in many browsers. The hack to the html parser would change the iframe in all places where it is used. There would probably need to be an additional stylesheet change to force the iframe height.

I couldn't tell what styles were missing inside the text. But the world inside the iframe is supposed to be self-contained, so you could try adding <style> tags at the top of your HTML and populating it with whatever styles are missing.

Hi Dave

It’s fairly simple. The reason that the tiddler “1.3-14.tabla” doesn’t render correctly when the content type is set to TiddlyWiki5 is because of the double line breaks you’ve got around each row. Those line breaks will generated paragraph tags, which will disturb the table.

Try setting the content type back to "text/vnd.tiddlywiki” and removing the blank lines.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Oops! Thanks Jeremy. I did that to make it a little more readable. Since it wasn't affecting the rows it didn't even cross my mind.
