Hi,

I have inserted a table from Microsoft Word in the RTE-window.
The table it is to broad for my frontend.
For pictures I know that there is a possibility to enter the maxWidth of a
block; is there something similar for tables?

Or any other possiblity to give them a binding maximum width?

Table is a html element and it depends on browsers, how they handle CSS
and html.
Even if there would be possible to set some TS to set style attribute,
that could work because it would be *impossible* to calculate, how wide
the final table would be.

Christopher,
Have you tried doing the table in html and putting it in the RTE with the <>
html view enabled? Or, you could make it an html content element. Anything
pasted directly into the RTE from Word come out badly in my experience.

Cheers,
Virgil

I have taken it from Word and pasted it in the RTE.
I know that there is a table-content-element, but my users use Word and
don't want to enter everything again.
The RTE is the right (and only) choise for them.

There is the possibility to remove some format in the RTE, e.g. "Format from
MS Word".
Doing so I get a table which fits in the width I have available.
Is there a way that makes the RTE apply this option automatically?
(So that the user does not have to click and and if he forgot -happens all
the time- the page looks ugly...)

Christopher

A simple table style="width: 558px;" (for example) would do the job.

BUT it also would be great if the options the RTE offers would be available
(width of the table in percent or pixels).
That would not be the case if one standard-value for all tables was set.

The point is: The width should be adjustable, but it should NEVER be more
than ... lets say those 558 px.

You already have a number of possible options using CSS without
changing the RTE in any way. Three possibilities suggest themselves
immediately (there are undoubtedly others

Solution 1: CSS only
----------------------------------------
Your RTE content elements will exist in some HTML element. If that
element does not have an id attribute, add one and then take care of
this in your stylesheet(s). If, for example, the relevant element is a
div with the id "container", the following code should take care of it
in most cases [1]. This won't solve the problem if the issue is with
long words in td elements forcing the table to be wider than the
permissible width, but if that's the case, the RTE couldn't do much
either:

/*
In your main stylesheet:
[note that IE7 sometimes gets max-width wrong]
*/
div#container table { max-width:558px; }

/*
In a stylesheet ONLY for IE versions < 7:
[be warned, IE 6 and lower handle 'width' like 'min-width']
*/
div#container table { width:558px; }


Solution 2: CSS + TSconfig 1
----------------------------------------
Configure the RTE with one or more classes that can be applied to
table elements to 'tame' their widths.

Solution 3: CSS + TSconfig 2
----------------------------------------
Set up a 'wrapper' in the "Frame" selector of the Text content element
in TYPO3 that wraps the tables in a div; then, add something like the
following to your stylesheet (assumes same markup as Solution 1

div#container div { overflow:scroll; }


[1] This will depend on whether the useragent in question implements
CSS 2 or CSS 2.1. As far as I know, all the major useragents that
support max-width *at all* support 2.1 more or less. Ymmv.

I think you misunderstand this.
TYPO3 does not give a size for the block. the image is resized
completely. Afterwards the block is sized acording to the resized image
as to every image.
as there is no native size of a table or other html-tag TYPO3 can not
define a special size. TYPO3 uses CSS and so you can give the class a
size.
> Or any other possiblity to give them a binding maximum width?

If you would use the TYPO3-contentelement TABLE you can give each element
it's own class (and so it's own size)
