Tools - TABLE tag editor

This tool is used to specify the attributes of the table tag. After filling in the selected fields and selecting the appropriate options, a table opening tag in the form of <TABLE></TABLE> will be inserted into the document. In addition, the first of the inserted tags will be supplemented with a list of defined attributes.

The TABLE Tag Editor window is launched from Main Menu / Tools / Tables / Tag editor and from the Tables and Forms toolbar.

Element style

This group allows you to specify the style for the tag. Here you will find three fields that allow you to specify:

Definition of style
In this field you define the style for the element to be placed in the document. The button next to it launches the style editor tool that allows you to create a style definition in a friendly and convenient way. By clicking there you can also modify an existing style.

Class selection
In this field you specify the class identifier assigned to the tag. The drop-down list allows you to access classes defined in the current document and in external style sheets attached to it. The button next to it launches the tool for creating a new class.

Item ID
Here you provide a unique identifier for this element in the document. These identifiers can be used, for example, when making jumps to specific parts of the page or in scripts.

"Events and Attributes" button

The "Events and Attributes" button allows you to open the Events and Other Attributes window. This window allows you to specify additional attributes of the edited tag that do not have their counterparts in the tool window. There you can also specify events for scripting languages that allow you to achieve various special effects.
