Help On Tables

Hi all,

Apologies if this seems like a dumb question but I've only just started working
with Orbeon Forms.

I am trying to put an xforms:input control into a cell in a table. I want the
control to fill the entire cell in the table. However, despite tweaking the CSS
class for the table I am always left with a gap on the right hand side of the
cell.

I'm sure there is a simple method of ensuring that the the control can be sized
to occupy the entire cell but I am struggling to get a result.

All help welcomed.

Martin

This may be caused by an inactive xforms alert that's placed right to
the xforms control. Both the active and the inactive alert have the
following css style:

.xforms-alert-inactive, .xforms-alert-active {
     display:-moz-inline-box;
     font-size:0pt;
     height:16px;
     margin-left:0.25em;
     overflow:hidden;
     text-indent:16px;
     vertical-align:middle;
     white-space:nowrap;
     width:16px;
}

So you could try to set the width, the indentation and the left margin
of the inactive alert to 0.

If you're using firefox, you could install the firebug add-on that helps
greatly to check the html source and the css applied to the different
controls.

Thanks Florian,

That's cracked it.
