Editor: implement tables

[guest]

Need table improvements. Dialog with rows/columns, borders, etc. I suggest a default of 1 row, 2 col, no border. Gecko has inline edit tools but IE needs row/column tools. Both need cell/row/table format dialog.

To see tables with no borders for editing purposes, the RichText? component needs to show td tags... e.g: td {border: 1px dotted #F00;}

I tried adding the above as part of the init - but if you're editing a file with it's own html&body tags, this doesn't work in IE. Worst case is that this style gets inserted into actual content and then filtered out on submit.

I've submitted a richtext.js patch to improve inserttable. ​http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/1280

insert/delete table is already implemented in the new editor2

other format will be added later

There currently is no table support in the editor. Are there browser limitations? a11y issues? or can we port this and schedule for a milestone? Should this be in Dijit or should we start a new dojox.editor project?

Moving to 1.2 to get a decision made on this.

I'm not inclined to add table support to the Editor in dijit but maybe you can change my mind.

This is a very old ticket. Close in favor of #6479? Does the dojox.editor.TablePlugin? do what's requested here?

Yes, the table plugs cover this. It doesn't do the dotted TDs, but there are new issues with the non-iframe that makes that tricky (but still doable). I'd definitely close this.
