Html

Hi everyone,

I am trying to add html tables to a html document and the html table appears but here is the problem in that only certain attributes of the table is being adhered to and the rest ignored. This is what i am doing

String table = "<table width="80%" height="80%" cellspacing="200" cellpadding="10" border="20" bordercolor="#ff0033" bgcolor="#33ff33">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>";

Element ele = doc.getParagraphElement(Pane1.getCaretPosition());

try
{
doc.insertAfterEnd(ele, table);
}

catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

Please note that Pane1 is an instance of the JTextPane class and doc is an instance of the HTMLDocument class which uses the default HTMLEditorKit class.

The table appears in the document but only cell padding, background color and table width options if varied produces the appropriate changes to the table that is being inserted.

The rest of the options such as borderwidth, bordercolor cell spacing and table height don't have any differences even when they are varied. They always remain the same.

Basically i need to know if i am inserting the html table correctly into the HTMLDocument or is there something that i need to do which i am not doing in the above code.

I am using the java sdk 1.4.2

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Without looking into your problem in detail, java supports HTML 3.2, not HTML 4.0. Would that be to any help?

The problem is with the String variable table.

U haven't used escape sequences for double quotes.

So the string variable might be truncated.

This is just a guess.

Try doing this.

Hi everyone,

Sorry i forgot the escape characters, here is the new value for the string variable

String table = "<table width=\"80%\" height=\"80%\" cellspacing=\"200\" 
                   cellpadding=\"10\" border=\"20\" bordercolor=\"#ff0033\" 
                   bgcolor=\"#33ff33\"><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;
                   </td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;
                   </td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;
                   </td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table>";

The thing is i am still getting the same results as posted in my first post and have no idea why this is so and am open to any suggestions

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank You
