CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I have a problem with the table function. When I create a table (or paste as html) I see the content in the table but not the table itself. This have never really been a problem until One if my clients needed a live menu using tables on the website. She finds updating the table quite hard when she can't see it.

Anyways, my question is if there is a way to actually see the table borders in the editor window?

Or even better, is there some failsafe module that makes creating tables even easier?


As always add solved to it if solved...

Hi

I have the same problem. Using 1.5.3.

You can add a table, but the outline is not there. You used to see a dotted line of the table and the cells.

This wasn't a problem with earlier versions. Any ideas?

Please explain.

I am trying to insert a table so I can display some tabular data similar to a spreadsheet.

If you want to display the dashed lines of a (blind) table in TinyMCE, go to the TinyMCE backend administration, tab "Advanced" and check "Include only screen CSS".

That solved the problem on my site.

I just found under the Tiny cinfig page a check mark that says "Allow Table Operation"...not sure if that is going to do the trick?

Hi

The "allow table operations" only shows or hides the toolbar table buttons.

But I have found that ticking (checking) the "Include only screen CSS" option under the advanced tab for the TintMCE admin appears to have fixed the problem.

Because this question is frequently asked I added the solution in the Wiki of the TinyMCE modul:
