html table in action buttons

Classic Servoy
1

Hi there,

I am trying to use the following html on a button.

var html = "<html><table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\"><tr><td width=\"100%\">temp text asdas </td></tr></table></html>";

forms.test.elements.btn1.text = html;

But the html table never expands to 100% of the width of the button.
Please help!!

Thanks a lot.

Hi Hameed,

Just set the margin property of the label/button to 0,0,0,0 (top,left,bottom,right)

Hi Robert,

I have set the margins for the button as you stated. It did not solve my issue. The html table is not expanding to 100%

Please help!

Thanks!

I just put your HTML in a button and set the margin property to 0,0,0,0.
Works fine here.

Servoy Developer
Version R2 2.2.5-build 337
Java version 1.4.2-54 (Mac OS X)

my java version is as follows:

Servoy Developer
Version 3.0b3-build 364
Java version 1.5.0_07-b03 (Windows XP)

does it make any difference?

Hmm…I was mistaken.
When I made the button larger I see the same as you.
Only workaround I see is to set the width in pixels instead of percent.

This behavior is in Servoy 2.2.5 and 3.0b3 (Mac and Windows)

I can set the width in pixels for the buttons. The reason I wanted to set to 100% is because the size of the buttons are variable. I would like to set the table width to 100% and then show a small image on the right hand side of the button as shown in the attachment. Now it is shown in the left hand side which is a bit ugly.

Any other work around to acheive this would be better.

Thanks for your time.

I guess the following code would work.

<html><table>
	<tr>
		<td>your button name</td>
		<td><img src="yourimage.png" alt=""></td>
	</tr>
</table></html>

Also your HTML should be centered when your button has the showClick property enabled. Else use the horizontalAlignment property to center it.

Hope this helps.
