Table with image in one cell, text in another

Post by mleenc »

Hi All,

I want to create a table has an image in one cell, and text in another. In FrameMaker, I used this table to insert warnings or point the user to additional info. The table cell on the left would have a stopsign or a lightbulb icon, and the table cell on the right would have the text. I couldn't figure out a way to create a table that would always have an image in the left cell. Any ideas?

By the way, I'm completely new to Flare, and I am finding it very difficult to use. Any recommendations on how to better understand this program will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Martha

Is there any reason you want to use a table for this? I wouldn't say its an ideal solution. You'd be much better off using realistically any other sort of tag, you could make this with one <p> block if you so desired..

You can do this in CSS without using a table.

If you search the forums or MadCap's site, you'll find a number of examples; e.g. I found these straight away on Google:

You've had some great tips from DaveLee, but he forgot one thing - WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

Thanks for the tips. I am very FrameMaker centric, and I created the notes in FrameMaker with a table that always had the graphic in the left table cell.

I'm surprised the MapCap forum didn't notify me when I got a response to my post. Is that typical or was this a glitch in the system?

When you post or post a response you can check below the text field in the Options tab the option "Notify me when a reply is posted". That should be available for regular forum users and send you a notification assuming you provided an email address.

Also, you can go into your User Control Panel (link top left of the page), then Board Preferences and set whether you always want a notification or not.
