Hi Chris,

Just played around with the example program and found some limitations when working with tables in the editor:
  • No nested tables support
  • No table selector to set/update table properties
  • No table selector to adjust column/row width and height

Is there any way to extend the control to implement those behaviours?

Other than that, very good work!

Best regards,

Steven Wang

Hi Steven,

Is there any way to extend the control to implement those behaviours?

The control can be only "extended" using the already-documented DOM APIs; but not otherwise.

I've just tested the behaviour of nested tables. The renderer will display them, if they exist or are inserted, however the current implementation of the code which selects table cells using the mouse will throw an exception if you select several cells one which contains a nested table.

What do you mean when you say "table properties": which HTML elements and/or attributes, and/or CSS properties, are you referring to?

Also, what do you mean by "table selector": did you mean, GUI toolbar elements?

I might be able to implement those features for you. A rough estimate would be something like 3 to 10 days work: so, perhaps something like $600 to $2000. Let me know if you might like to spend that kind of money for these features. I'll send you an email in case you prefer to discuss this privately.

Other than that, very good work!

Thank you!

Regards,
Chris Wells
