Check Box in Tables.

[Richard Gutery]

I have been trying to place a simple Check Box into a column in a table.
When I do so (insert -> form -> check box) in FP2003, I get a check box AND
a Submit AND Reset Button. This occurs with any form control placed in table
(radio, option, group etc).

What give???

Form elements require form tags to work
- by default FP includes the form tags and the Submit / Reset Buttons if you add an element that is not already inside a valid forms
tag
- the form tags can not be broken by a table tag
(put the form inside the table, or wrap the table w/ the form tags)

Hi Stefan. Still somewhat new at FP (Dreamweaver and VS), I find it hard to
believe that a simple check box cannot be inserted into a Table Cell.

Is this what I am to understand that this cannot be done??? If so, this is
not a very friendly thing. I tried to place a form into the table cell and
all kinds of bad things happened.

Thanks for the assist however.

Hi Richard,

Under the circumstances, your best bet would be to create the (empty) form
first, and insert the table into it. It can also be done by hand-editing the
HTML, but as you're new, try it the other way. Once the table is inside the
form, you can add form elements to any cell in it.

No
It's a very friendly thing

If the form checkbox is to work it must be in side of valid form tags
- if you already have a valid form but the insertion point is wrong, FP is telling you that you have broken your form and is adding
a new form (and it's buttons)
Either Insert your Form and then build/insert your table in it
Or insert your form inside of an existing table cell

You can't have the form tag pair broken by any other block level html tags like below
<form><table>
<tr><td> some check boxes</form></td></tr>
<tr><td> some more check boxes></td></tr></table>

You can have
<form><table>
<tr><td> some check boxes</td></tr>
<tr><td> some more check boxes></td></tr></table>
</form>
