hi all,

i found a couple of "bugs"...perhaps somebody can confirm:

- using the TABLE element with the C option, i can't get the first left column centered although the second column does centre ok

- sometimes, for reasons unknown, the RUN button on the ide looks pressed even though i am not pressing it

- the line position of the cursor as reflected in the status bar is slow to respond and sometimes doesn't seem to until i move it using one of the directional arrows

overall, i think that vds 5 is awesome with lots of new and handy features

how come it says now COMMERCIAL RESEARCH LTD...what happened to SADE? in case i missed the news, can someone bring me up to speed please Very Happy

thanks

Serge

The "C" option is to center the columns of a table. Wink

But where was that ever documented? I can't find it in the help file.

hi ff,

that is what i did but it does not centre the first column...resize the column and you will see what i mean...the others are but not the first one

hi skit,

thanks for your idea...i was really after trying to make what ff did work (which is what i did)

thanks for your help

Hmm... Skit's example doesn't work here... (also I had to add a comma
for the style to work)

It doesn't even center the first column... Confused

I'll upload a screenshot as fast as possible... May be a 'real' bug...

I found that I could put in a zero width for the first column, and my 2nd column now shows up first, and the C L and R commands now work properly (of course you'll have to add a TAB to the front of each line of source data!)

This also gets rid of that gab that appears on the left hand edge of the first column.

A work around until it's fixed anyway

** This is good for display only, you now won't be able to click the first column to select a row, as you can't click in any other column besides the first to select rows...

interesting idea nathanh...but like you said, only for display purposes

In reply to FreezingFire's uploaded picture: this is my screenshot (I only changed the X and Y positions of the table a bit for a better view)...

Remember that you're forgetting a comma in the source code you posted.
I had to add the comma in order for the style to work. Wink
