Web Connection User's Guide
Use the Table part to present data from a database query in tabular format,
in a series of columns with each item occupying a row. This part
generates the HTML element table.
Note: | The Table part is used in conjunction with the VisualAge Database Query part
to present the results of database queries. If you want to use table
tagging to control the layout of the elements on your page, use the Grid
part.

To add a Table part, select the Web Connection Category (
), then the Table part (
). You can also add the part using the Add Part dialog and specifying
the class name, AbtHtmlTable.
The Table part has the following properties:
- border
- Use the border property to specify how wide the border around
the object should appear. For no border, leave the field blank or
specify 0 (zero) for the border.
- cellPadding
- Use the cellPadding property to specify the amount of space you
want to appear around the data in the cells.
This property is equivalent to the cellpadding
attribute of the HTML table element.
- cellSpacing
- Use the cellSpacing property to specify the amount of space
around the cells themselves.
This property is equivalent to the cellspacing
attribute of the HTML table tag.
- columns
- Use the columns property to define the properties of the
columns in the table. You can define these properties either by editing
the columns property of the Table part, or by opening the Settings
for the TableColumn part. The list of properties is the
same. Using the columns property for the Table part helps
you see all of the properties for all of the columns in the table at one
time.
- drawBorder
- Use the drawBorder property to indicate whether you want
visible borders around the table cells.
This property is equivalent to the border attribute
of the HTML table element.
- eventHandlers
- Use the eventHandlers property to define any event handlers for
this part. Event handlers provide the ability to detect and react to
events that occur while an HtmlPage is loaded in a Web browser. An
example of an event handler is mouse over, where you can specify
when the mouse moves over an HTML element, something happens, usually a
JavaScript is executed..
- extraAttributes
- Use the extraAttributes property to specify any additional HTML
attributes that you want included in the HTML tagging generated by the
part. You can use this property to include HTML attributes that are not
directly supported by VisualAge.
- items
- Use the items to specify the initial items you want displayed
by the part when it appears.
- partName
- In the Part name field, type the name you want to use to
describe the part. For non-visual parts, this text appears under the
icon for the part on the free-form surface.
The name of the part can consist of alphanumeric characters, and must be
unique from all other parts on the layout surface.
This field is optional. If you do not specify a part name, VisualAge
generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.
