CGIDEV2 to Profound UI: HTML tables to grids

Post by eswezey »

I've been tasked with converting CGI programs using CGIDEV2 to Profound UI. I used tables heavily in the HTML. In one program I displayed search results in a 7-column table, but in some results rows columns are combined with colspan="". So some results rows have 7 cells but some have less. Is this possible in a grid, or is there a way to do this in Profound UI? The only thing I can think to do is, since the info I put in the combined column is a static string, put an extra column in the grid to mark with an 'X' if that row is that kind of data. Or, I just thought of this, change the font color depending on what kind of data it is.

You are correct, the number of columns in a grid is static for all rows. Font color could certainly be used to indicate a different type of data.

You're right
