• Help with a script to search for text in a table cell and apply the cell style

  Hello

  I build the script which Jongware wrote in his post here http://indesignsecrets.com/tackling-tables-through-scripting.php - I am trying to create a variable in which I can add a number of different parts of the text, in this case it's different parts of the United Kingdom i.e. 'London', 'East', 'Scotland' etc. I just need the script to apply the cell Style - 'District Cell' - to any cell that contains text in the variable. Here's the script, if anyone can help I would be grateful.

  function checkWhichTable()
  {
  // ensure the user made a selection
  if (app.selection.length != 1)
  return null;
  var currentTable = app.selection[0];
  if (currentTable.hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
  {
  currentTable = app.selection[0].parent;
  }
  while (currentTable instanceof Cell || currentTable instanceof Row || currentTable instanceof Column)
  currentTable = currentTable.parent;
  if (!(currentTable instanceof Table))
  {
  // No table selected
  return null;
  }
  return currentTable;
  }
  app.doScript(checkUserSelection, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Process Table");
  
  
  function checkUserSelection ()
  {
  var a_table = checkWhichTable();
  if (a_table == null)
  {
  if (confirm("No table selected. Do you want to process *all* tables?") == false)
  return;
  allTables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
  for (aTable=0; aTable<allTables.length; aTable++)
  {
  processTable (allTables[aTable]);
  }
  } else
  {
  processTable (a_table);
  }
  }
  function processTable(table)
  {
  // do something here!
  
  
  //Find Text in Cell and apply Cell Style
  var textInCell=['London', 'Scotland', 'South West'];
  for (i=0; i<table.cells.length; i++)
  {
  if (table.cells[i].texts[0].contents==textInCell)
  table.cells[i].appliedCellStyle = "District Cell";
  }
  
  
  
  
  }
  

  Hello

  Change this feature:

  function processTable(table)
  {
  //Find Text (exactly as it is) in Cell and apply Cell Style
  var
    textInCell=['London', 'Scotland', 'South West'],
    mFound, cFound;
  
  app.findGrepPreferences = null;
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^(" + cities.join("|") + ")$";
  mFound = table.findGrep();
  while( cFound = mFound.pop() )
    cFound.parent.appliedCellStyle = "District Cell";
  }

• Table cell text will not align Center

  Hello

  I have a table in a CS5 file in which the top row contains the column names. I have turned this text to 270 ° and want to align in the Center on the text in the column below (which is aligned Center). Vertical alignment is on the Center. Alignment of a paragraph is left I want the text to sit at the bottom of the row.

  When the columns are narrow enough that works OK but it does not work in larger columns; the text is always left of Center. Why is - it does not work as it should? As a matter of interest, I worked with some CS3 files where alignment is fine. When I open the CS5, however, as soon as I change the alignment will not.

  Thank you

  Your table cell is wider than it is tall? Then this is a known bug. It works fine as long as the height of the cell in the table is greater than its width. If it is wider, it aligns in a 'virtual square' (the sides equal at the height of the table cell). So if your table cell is 10 mm high and 20 mm wide, to 270 °-text align in a sqare 10x10mm. You can "fix" this behavior by adding a distance of 5 mm to the left and right of the table cell borders.

• How do I get the table cells?

  It's my get code that any object in propagation.

  Int32 childCount = parent-> GetChildCount();

  for (int32 /IndexEnfant = 0; childIndex < childCount; /IndexEnfant ++)

  {

  InterfacePtr < IHierarchy > child (parent-> QueryChild (childIndex));

  ChildUIDRef = UIDRef: GetUIDRef (child);

  TextFrame table

  }

  How do I get the table cells?

  You can access the table using ITableModel and GridAddresscell.

  But to get to the ITableModel since ITextModel implies some complexity.

  Few things to understand:

  -L'interface that corresponds to the written document is ITextModel

  -The recommended method to iterate tables in a story done by ITextStoryThreadDictHier

  -Get the ITextStoryThreadDictHier on the history and the main thread as ITextStoryThreadDictHier::NextUID()

  -Now get ITextStoryThreadDict for UID and query for ITableModel. If you get ITableModel, then you have found the table.

  Once you have ITableModel you can get ITableCell as follows:

  ITableModel:QueryCellContentBoss(GridAddress); Give ITableCell

  You can refer to SnipperRunner (SnpManipulateTextModel).

  Download text template table model:

  InterfacePtr textModel (storyUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());

  InterfacePtr textStoryDictHier (textModel, UseDefaultIID());

  NextUID UID = sourceStory.GetUID (); / / Download the main thread dictionary

  Now loop the dicthier to iterate through all the threads dicts.

  InterfacePtr textStoryThreadDict (sourceStory.GetDataBase (), nextUID, UseDefaultIID());

  InterfacePtr tableModel (textStoryThreadDict, UseDefaultIID());

  If (tableModel) / / the storythreaddict represents a table

  {

  You are now in a table

  }

• How to bind a table cell?

  Hello

  What would be the best way to link this table cell? I want the entire cell related rather than just the text inside.

  < table width = "160" border = "0" align = "right" cellpadding = "5" cellspacing = "0" class = "backgroundbox-video" >
  < b >
  < td width = "167" align = "left" valign = "top" > < class p 'navheader-lg' = > Video Clip < /p >
  < class p "navheader-sm" = > watch a short < br / >
  video testimony < /p > < table >
  < /tr >

  Thank you very much

  Laura

  Of course, simply add the new image as a background in this selector:

  .vidA a:hover{     background-color:#C4F894;        background-image: url(...);}
  

  This might be a good time to mark this as so answered correctly the people who help will not need to click on this thread more.  Thank you!

• How to stop storing text input cells

  Cells of numbers to memorize my text entry, and when I start typing a similar word, it gives me a little drop down words previously used, which can really speed things up! However, I also want to prevent this to some words as it really slows me down. Sometimes, the drop down menu also gives me the same word twice, that I then have to scroll, which slows me down a lot!

  For example, when I type "love of my life" in a cell, I get a drop-down list with "love my life" and "love of my life" that I then have to scroll or click on with my cursor.

  How can I prevent a cell to do this or erase the memory of certain words?

  Thanks in advance,

  Shen

  Hi Shen,

  You can disable this option by unchecking the 'see the suggestion when editing the table cells' via numbers > Preferences in your menu:

• table cell shift problem

  Get a weird selection indicator displacement effect in the cells when using tables in LV 2013 (32) on Win 7 (64).   Hesitate to call it a "scroll" because that which has other meanings in the context of the table.

  Click on the letters in the attached VI to see - same effects if the table is in a VI running or not.

  + clicking on 'A' has no effect.  You remove 'A', the cell to move.

  + clicking on one of the cells located below "A" act as above

  + clicking on the header cell 'x' causes a big drift.  Put the other values in the cell has other effects (some travel a lot, some not at all)

  + clicking on the cell of the table "y" causes a big bend on the side.  Put the other values in the cell has other effects (some travel a lot, some not at all)

  + clicking on the "z" table cell is not moving.  You delete 'z', a big bend on the side

  + I noticed the change which occurs when you remove "A" stops at the same place in the landscape as if you

  Comments:

  + Seems to be related to the cells to justify = center.

• access to table cells

  Hello

  Could someone please help me understand how to access the cells in a table (to do)?  I have a report with a table full of a channel.  In a column, it shows a list of names (which come from a channel).  I have another string with a list of colors and I want to associate each name in the table with a color of the second round. I tried unsuccessfully to access even a cell using D2TabRow and D2TabCol and the content...

  Any help is appreciated

  Thank you

  Hi Muskeg,

  Edna has sent two times it shows the only way to change the font of the text in individual table cells properties.  You create, save and call a UserCommand, so is not simple.  The main problem you use is that the table in the REPORT object does not generally contain cells.  If you happen to have chosen a column type in the 'list of text', then you can access the contents of individual table cells, but otherwise, your only options are to get and set the values outside the table that the table is referencing - be they channel values or the values of variables or expressions.

  The easiest option is to get/set of string values and assign each column of the table or row to display the channel values.

• hyperlink in the table cell?

  Hi all

  We need to navigate a path for each row in the table control. Is it possible to have a hyperlink in a table for each row cell? or do I have to use button battery to do the same thing?

  Kind regards

  Kanu

  The answer is, you can't. However, the custom hyperlink control is open-source. You can find the source in toolslib\custctrl\hyperlinkctrl.c. It's a pretty simple code module, so it is not all that difficult to modify this code so that it could work in a table cell, rather than a message text control.

• Table cell height 11 FM

  Is there an easy way to control the height of a table cell? Is there a key combination that will allow me to move the bottom margin upwards or downwards, or do not develop until the last line of text?

  Thank you

  Bill

  By default, the height of line expands with the content.

  Use the Table > Format > row height to set a height of minimum and maximum line for selected rows:

  

  Don't forget that you can control the margins of cell for the table in table designer > basic and properties by the paragraph by paragraph Designer tag > Table Cell properties. These margins might be useful to get the look are are after as well.

• Variable font inside a table cell properties

  Hello

  the following code works fine inside a text box:

  with(textArea.insertionPoints) {
       for ( var iStringSection = 0; iStringSection < stringsAndStyles.length; iStringSection++ ) {
            lastItem().properties = {
                 contents: stringsAndStyles[iStringSection].contents,
                 fontStyle: stringsAndStyles[iStringSection].fontStyle
            }
       }
  }
  

  The style changes of fonts correctly for each segment of the chain. But if I try the same thing with a table cell (just replace textArea with the active cell, stays remains the same), the fontstyle will not change between segments of the chain. Is there a different approach to reach the variable font inside a table cell styles? Without the help of a new paragraph, the police is supposed to change on the same line.

  Thank you very much!

• With the help of several styles of paragraph in a table cell

  Hello

  I'm stuck using several styles of paragraph within a cell. I guess the solution is that I need to start a new paragraph, but so far I have not found a way to do it. When I directly in InDesign, it works fine, but I can not start a new paragraph when you use the script.

  Here's a solution I've tried:

  with {(table)

  .properties de.insertionPoints.item-(1) lines [0] .cells [0] = {}

  content: '1 ' Format string,

  appliedParagraphStyle: styleFormat1

  };

  .properties de.insertionPoints.item-(1) lines [0] .cells [0] = {}

  content: "\rString in size 2',

  appliedParagraphStyle: styleFormat2

  };

  }

  But until now I did not get a new paragraph. When you look at the IDMLs, you can see that InDesign adds a new paragraph inside the cell, while my code remains in the same paragraph.

  Here the IDML result when I do in InDesign:

  "< cell auto ="ue0ie4i0"Name =" "0:0" RowSpan = "1" ColumnSpan = "1" AppliedCellStyle = "CellStyle / $ID / [no]" AppliedCellStylePriority = "0" >

  < ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle = "ParagraphStyle/Format1" >

  < CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle = "CharacterStyle / $ID / [no style character]" >

  < content > string to Format 1 < / content >

  < Br / >

  < / CharacterStyleRange >

  < / ParagraphStyleRange >

  < ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle = "ParagraphStyle/Format2" >

  < CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle = "CharacterStyle / $ID / [no style character]" >

  < content > string to Format 2 < / content >

  < / CharacterStyleRange >

  < / ParagraphStyleRange >

  < / cell >

  And here is that when I use the script:

  "< cell auto ="ue0ie4i0"Name =" "0:0" RowSpan = "1" ColumnSpan = "1" AppliedCellStyle = "CellStyle / $ID / [no]" AppliedCellStylePriority = "0" >

  < ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle = "ParagraphStyle/Format2" >

  < CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle = "CharacterStyle / $ID / [no style character]" >

  < content > string to Format 1 < / content >

  < Br / >

  < content > string to Format 2 < / content >

  < / CharacterStyleRange >

  < / ParagraphStyleRange >

  < / cell >

  It is therefore quite clear my script is not adding a new paragraph. Any ideas how to get a new paragraph so I can use more than one paragraph style?

  I don't have test nore debug your code, but I suggest you another method to apply the content and style of two paragraphs. Do not use a with statement.

  What is your version of InDesign?

  Example:

  // Add new document:
  var doc = app.documents.add();
  // Add two paragraph styles:
  var paraStyle1 = doc.paragraphStyles.add({name : "ParaStyle-1" , pointSize : 20});
  var paraStyle2 = doc.paragraphStyles.add({name : "ParaStyle-2" , pointSize : 15});
  
  // Add a new text frame (default is on page 1):
  var newTextFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
  newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0,0,"150mm","150mm"];
  
  // Add a table to this text frame:
  var table = newTextFrame.tables.add
  (
      {
          bodyRowCount : 4 ,
          columnCount : 3 ,
          width : "150mm"
      }
  
  );
  
  // Assign the contents as array:
  // The fisrt and only entry in this array will give the first cell its contents:
  table.contents =
  [
      "Paragraph 1"+"\r"+"Paragraph 2"
  ]
  
  // Assign the formatting of the two paragraphs:
  table.cells[0].paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle1;
  table.cells[0].paragraphs[1].appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle2;

• DW CS6 Valign a table cell?

  I use DW since Macromedia days.  I started my site Web to help teach yourself the publication of Laura Lemay Web with HTML 3, released in 1996.  I learned HTML 3.  I learned to use Dreamweaver.  I have maintained my site without too many problems, relying on DW.  Until the CS6.

  Now I'm lost.  I only want to vertically align a small icon (a 30 x 30 px JPEG) and 10-point in a table cell text. The cell is a length of three cells.  The code looks like this:

  < td colspan = "3" valign = "middle" >
  "" < img src = "... / images/misc/little-stars/Tiny-Star-1.jpg" width = "30" height = "31" border = "0" >
  < span class = "verdana10" > - in time for filming! (rules of < em > Dave < /em > clock!) </span >
  < table >

  It can be seen on the Web here.  http://www.techno-Imaging.com/gal15summer/gal2015summer.html

  I understand that does not support HTML5 valign = "middle" and that I should use a CSS style.  But most browsers should be backwards compatible.  I prefer to use the old code in this instance.

  If I knew how to add a CSS class to my default style sheet I would.

  TIA,-Dave

  Do what you want to achieve? (Although course without border)

  

  Remove the valign = "middle" and insert this code at the end of the img element:

  "img src ="... / images/misc/little-stars/Tiny-Star-1.jpg "width ="30"height ="31"border ="0" style =" "vertical-align: middle;" "

• Dreamweaver keeps adding an additional line in a table cell

  I'm not sure why this is happening, but for some weird reason, the second column of the first row of a table always has the text starts as if there is a blank line. I checked the code to see if something has been inserted by accident, but there is no break line or anything else between the td tag and text in my table cell. I checked the alignment and vertical alignment of the cell is set to "high".

  In the editor, everything seems normal. But once I go to see live or download the file on the web, the blank line appears in the second cell of the table.

  I think I found the problem. In Design mode in the properties box, a column has the value Format paragraph and the other was set to None. Unifying it on all of them seems to have solved the problem.

• Balancing the columns with grids of fluid and CSS3 'table-cell '.

  I try to balance the height of by-side columns, and I'm happy to use ' display: table-cell "that I've seen work. But I can't make it work with DW flow layout grid. I have an example here: http://leighjackson-co-nz-dev.web4.pbstaging.com/htm/test-2a.htm

  I want the right div, color, below the image, to be full height, identical to the div of the text to the left of it. It doesn't seem to work.

  Any suggestions?

  Sorry, CSS display: table does not work on the floating divs.   The alignment is done with the width of the cells in the table, divs.

  {#div1}

  Width: 100%;

  Auto margin: 0;

  Display: table;

  border-collapse: collapse;

  }

  #div2 {display: table-row;}}

  {#div3}

  Display: table-cell;

  Width: 50%;

  background: #D8E9B6;

  vertical-align: top;

  }

  {#div4}

  Display: table-cell;

  Width: 50%;

  background: #CCE6FF;

  vertical-align: bottom;
