How to create tables in ChronoForms?

kingzain 31 Jul, 2010
Is there any way to create tables? I want to enter educational info and such into the form. Format would be like: Name of University - Dates attended - GPA awarded (3 columns)
Is there a way to do this?

Hi kingzain,

The 'Create Table' icon in the toolbar ??? Or use PHPMyAdmin.

I found that, but i don't think that's what i'm searching for. I meant I want to create a table like in MS Word, where the user can input data. Like in monster.com or any university site when a user has to input educational background, there is an input table. For example table see attachment.

Hi kingzain ,

Ah no, that you have to create by hand (or using an HTML editor) in the Form HTML box.

I understand. So do you have any idea how i would go about that? Any prepared code you have or something? Because i am a noob at HTML coding.

Ok i got HTML code for table. So how do i integrate it into ChrnoForms so that it will accept the input?
<table border="2" bordercolor="Black" width="100" bgcolor="White">
<tr>
<td> row 1, column 1 </td>
<td> row 1, column 2 </td>
<td> row 1, column 3 </td>
<td> row 1, column 4 </td>
<td> row 1, column 5 </td>
<td> row 1, column 6 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> row 2, column 1 </td>
<td> row 2, column 2 </td>
<td> row 2, column 3 </td>
<td> row 2, column 4 </td>
<td> row 2, column 5 </td>
<td> row 2, column 6 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> row 3, column 1 </td>
<td> row 3, column 2 </td>
<td> row 3, column 3 </td>
<td> row 3, column 4 </td>
<td> row 3, column 5 </td>
<td> row 3, column 6 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> row 4, column 1 </td>
<td> row 4, column 2 </td>
<td> row 4, column 3 </td>
<td> row 4, column 4 </td>
<td> row 4, column 5 </td>
<td> row 4, column 6 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> row 5, column 1 </td>
<td> row 5, column 2 </td>
<td> row 5, column 3 </td>
<td> row 5, column 4 </td>
<td> row 5, column 5 </td>
<td> row 5, column 6 </td>
</tr>
</table>


So instead of row 5, column 6 (etc..) the form would accept input from the user.

Hi kingzain ,

Sorry, it just isn’t practical to run HTML tutorials here. There are good ones at W3Schools, or it may be simpler to find someone to help you with this.

Hi kingzain,

There's a basic HTML Table tutorial here and an article on putting form elements into tables at para 10.3 here.
