Set Table Attributes
In addition to the attributes listed in the
Shared table attributes help topic, the following attributes are supported on set table objects.
CELLPADDING
This attribute applies to HTML tables only.
This attribute controls the space between cell wall and the cell contents (the cell wall is at the center of the cell border, not at its edge). The only supported unit is px (pixel). Enter a whole number value in the field provided. The default value is 2 pixels.
CELLSPACING
This attribute applies to HTML tables only.
This attribute controls the space between cells and between the table outer border and the table cells. The only supported unit is px (pixel). Enter a whole number value in the field provided. The default value is 1 pixel.
DEFAULT_RTH_UNIT
This attribute indicates the default “row target height” unit. If a row has an explicit height, for example 1.0in, and the user drag-resizes the row's height, we store the new height to markup using in (inches) as the unit.
Consider the case, however, in which a table has no explicit row heights given in its markup. If the user drag-resizes a row, Arbortext Editor wants to store the value thus created, but doesn't know which unit to use. This attribute provides an answer to the question.
If a row has no explicit height set and a user's edit forces Arbortext Editor to pick a unit, it uses the unit named by this attribute on the Set containing the Grid containing the Row.
Permissible units in OASIS Exchange and Arbortext tables are in, pt, pi, px, cm, or mm meaning inches, points, picas, pixels, centimeters, or millimeters.
In HTML tables, the only allowable row height unit is pixels. Consequently, this attribute is not supported in HTML tables.
FRAME
This attribute indicates how the outer borders of a Set are drawn. Note that the setting of this attribute is overridden by any style setting for an individual frame or inner rule. The following values are supported:
