contrib:Table column header alignment
Hello,
The table column header alignment through CSS is:
.columnsClass table { align: left; width: 100%; }
and it works. However, the "sorting triangle" is displayed in another <TD>
and there appears a distance between the column title and the sorting
triangle.
How to put them together? There seems no way to do that - the table is
always 100% width and the column title and sorting triangle take all the
space.
Has anyone done that?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am not sure you can do what you want using CSS. You should
_theoretically_ be able to do so, but in practice I do not believe it would
work, simply because CSS is not properly supported in the major browsers.
The current structure of the table headers is far from optimal, but
unfortunately it was pretty much the only one that I had found to work in
the majority of browsers. The handling of td, th, table, and their CSS
styles varies extremely from an implementation to implementation.
The strategy that was adopted was to allow the columns to define their own
column header appearance. That also should allow you to make the headers
look exactly the way you want them.
The default implementation is in
org.apache.tapestry.contrib.table.components.inserted.SimpleTableColumnCompo
nent. If you want, have a look at it to see how it works.
You can substitute the default column header renderer for your own by
creating a TableRendererSource and passing it to setColumnRendererSource()
in your newly created column (similarly to what was described in my previous
email for column value renderers).
Alternatively, you could also create a subclass of any of the standard
column classes and override the getColumnRenderer() method. I believe the
aggregation method above is better though.
I don't have a ready example for this at the moment, but I can write one a
bit later if you need it.
Best regards,
