The Table part also generates HTML table elements. However, Table is intended specifically for presenting the results of database queries, while Grid is intended for page layout.

Use the align property to specify how you want the element to be aligned on the Web page. You can select any of the following values from the drop-down list:

In addition, you can specify an alignment by typing the appropriate string directly into the field. Do this if you want to specify a special alignment supported by your browser but not directly supported by VA Smalltalk. VA Smalltalk will use the specified alignment string when generating HTML at run time, but will use its default alignment at edit time.

This property is equivalent to the align attribute of the appropriate HTML element.

Use the alignHorizontal property to specify how the information in the data cell is aligned horizontally. Valid values are:

In addition, you can specify other alignments supported by your browser by typing the appropriate string directly into the field.

This property is equivalent to the align attribute of the HTML td tag.

Use the alignVertical property to specify how the material in the data cell is aligned vertically. Valid values are:

In addition, you can specify other alignments supported by your browser by typing the appropriate string directly into the field.

This property is equivalent to the valign attribute of the HTML td tag.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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 VA Smalltalk.

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, VA Smalltalk generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.

Use the width property to specify the width of the grid. The units used are determined by the widthUnits property.

Use the widthUnits property to specify the units used by the width property. Select either Percent and Pixels. The default is Pixels.
