Table inside table

Post by Rene Severens »

Hi,

Is there a simple way to create a (n outer) table inside a (n inner) table such, that when moving up or down a row in the outer table that contains cells that contain inner tables, the complete row in the outer table is moved NOT leaving behind the rows of the inner table?
Also when creating these inner tables, the cell borders must collapse in such way that they overlap the already drawn lines of the outer table.

Maybe this effect is caused in the way the steps are executed to create such a table. Any help to get this solved is appreciated!

Thanks,
Rene Severens

Regarding the borders of the inner table... They're not overlapping because the parent table's <td> tag probably has padding on it, and since the inner table is considered content, that content will only fill up as far as the padding will allow. Assuming you're not using a table stylesheet on the parent table, then you might want to create a custom <td> class that has 0 padding and apply that class to the <td> tag containing the inner table.

Hi,

Ah, yes, I am using a table stylesheet for the parent table and, as I already noticed, a custom <td> style cannot be applied to the cell that contains the table. (Not completely correct, because it can be applied if using the main menu, but even then it does not work as expected).
