I am building a website using ND6.01, & have observed strange (& annoying) behaviour with tables inside tables.
The main webpage Form has the ‘template’ layout of the site pages on it, arranged with tables inside tables, with a Body field in the middle of the tables. On each document, I then put in more tables inside tables, to build up the structure of each page.
The layout is a ‘fixed-width’ layout, so it doesn’t resize width-wise, & originally this layout was positioned on the left of the page.
Then the client expressed a wish for the whole layout to be moved to the centre of the page instead, so I placed the whole table inside a ‘within margins’ table, three columns by one row, with the middle column fixed width.
Now here’s the thing: although the page seems fine when viewed with a web browser, each & every time I open the page with the Notes client, the margins inside the original table get all screwed up. If I save the document without sorting it out, next time it’s opened in Notes, it’s even more screwed up. To fix it, I have to change the inner table properties to ‘fixed width’, then back to ‘within margins’ (of the fixed width table column it is contained by), which seems to sort it out.
However, regardless of how screwed up it seems in Notes, it’s always fine in the web browser.
Whilst this sounds unimportant, it after all being a web site, I’m hoping that the client will use a Notes client to update the site once it’s finished (there are two many tables for them to use a web browser), & I can’t tell the client to keep changing the table properties twice, each time they edit a page!
Anyone come across this type of behaviour? Will it disappear with a later release? Everything’s currently R6.01.
Thanks, any help appreciated.
