How to MANUALLY scale tables?

Post by GNP »

Hello,

I am not able to seem to MANUALLY scale the tables in WYSISWG (using the mouse manually and dragging). Is there anyway to do this?

I have tried adjusting the Cell height and width by inputting numbers, but that doesn't seem to adjust the cells the way I want either.

Thank you.

When you refer to "manually scale" I take it you are trying to make the tables responsive so that they compatible with the likes of mobile devices? If so this is generally not the best way to create responsive websites. The HTML tables in the program are not responsive and are primarily just used for making text columns. I would recommend that you look at Layout Grids (modern equivalent to html tables) which are responsive.
I have tried adjusting the Cell height and width by inputting numbers, but that doesn't seem to adjust the cells the way I want either.
With the HTML tables the width of the columns is determined by what the content of the cells are and relative to the full width of the table. As previously mentioned HTML tables are not responsive and you would be best to look at Layout Grids.

Hi, thanks so much for the reply.

Yes, my intention is to have one Layout Grid, that encases a few mini Layout Grids (or tables). I am having some trouble with that. I'm more than willing to forgo using tables, and using all Layout Grids instead.

Here's my need;

Carousel -> General Layout Grid For Each Item -> Mini Layout Grids Within Each Item.

Possible? I've tried but I can't seem to drag or make them work within each other....

To make a Carousel part of a layout grid, you will have to set 'Full width' property to 'Flexible'

Hey Pablo,

actually it's the other way around - I'm trying to make a layout grid part of Carousel.

So let's say, I have 3 items to scroll with Carousel.

EACH of these items, will have a Layout Grid, and I want further mini layout grids within the Main Layout Grid. Possible?

I've been trying but it's hard to drag and drop or copy and paste them, unless I add a Gutter Width.

Also, in that case set the full width property to 'flexible'
