The Web Connection feature provides a Table part, which is designed to display tabular database data in rows and columns. The Table part generates the HTML element <table>.
The Table part is designed to be used in conjunction with the VisualAge database query parts. Specifically, the columns in the Table, which are represented by Table Column parts, use the public interface of the VisualAge part AbtMultiRowResultTable. This makes it possible to quickly set up HTML tables to display the results of database queries.
In most respects, the Table and Table Column parts behave very much like the base VisualAge parts Container Details and Container Details Column. Refer to the VisualAge Smalltalk User's Guide and VisualAge Smalltalk Parts Reference for more information about Container Details and Container Details Column.
Note: | In HTML, you can use <table> tagging with text and graphics in order to implement a visual page layout. The Table part does not support this use of tables; instead, use the Grid part for this purpose. |
