Is there anyway to sort the rows in a table? I have (1) 3 column table on my webpage and I manually enter new information in but its a pain to have to manually sort if and insert new rows and move everything. I was hoping there was a way to sort it like you can sort the fields in Excel. Thanks in advance for any help
How else do I put the info in uniformed??? I don't know what Web 2.0 is. I am not entirely expert at this yet (Don't suggest a database I can't afford one at the moment") Here is what I am talking about (No comments please the site is undergoing major design work lol I know it looks like crap lol) http://www.grocerypricebooks.com/Kroger1.html
I found a Sort Table option in the menu but when I try it says "The Sort Table command cannot be applied to tables with rowspans or colspans." I am not sure what that means or how to change it. Thanks
You can ignore the advice from salipk about not using tables. In your instance, you are using tables as they are intended, to list products, sizes and prices. What people generally mean when they say tables are not web 2.0 is that you shouldn't use tables to create your page layout. Instead you should use style sheets. I use Dreamweaver a lot but have never sorted table rows before. I did a quick search on Google using "sort tables in dreamweaver" and the first result looks promising. I'd post the link but I haven't posted often enough so the site won't let me. Does this help you at all?
Yes and no Look at my previous post. I found the option via google but now I get an error about spans.
Your top row with the text "manufacturer name" uses a colspan to merge the cells across the width of your table. There may be a way to deselect this row from the sort or you could remove this row entirely as it appears this text doesn't need to be in the table.
ive had this problem too... THE BEST THING TO DO IS STOP USING TABLES!!! USE LAYERS INSTEAD!!! WITH LAYERS YOU CAN DRAG IT WHEREEVER YOU WANT...AND YOU CAN INSERT A LAYER INSIDE ANOTHER LAYER FOR BETTER CONTROL AND POSITION SIMPLE GO TO INSERT>LAYER OBJECTS>LAYER DRAG THE LAYER WHEREVER YOU WANT AND MAKE IT AS BIG/SMALL AS YOU WANT its very simple... holla if u need more help
Or you could not use any of those stupid things (including Dreamweaver) and learn to code. People always say Dreamweaver is good for people who don't know how to code - well if you don't know how to use HTML/CSS, why the hell are you making websites? I can't cook, so should I be a chef? No. Layers are probably worse than tables, so I'd stay clear of them.
