HTML Editor - Table insert

Hi,

My company has recently subscribed to TOTARA. As part of the implementation of the system for a training project, I want to create nice tables on the course front page ... However I've been spending days trying to insert a table from the HTML and I didn't even managed to add a single cell.

Can anyone help on how to use the "Insert/Modify Table" interface?

Thanks.

Hey Christian

If you are in html mode you need to insert the appropriate code for the table. In the normal text editor just click the "Inserts a new table" button on the bottom toolbar and a new window will open that allows you to select the number of row/columns etc.

Cheers.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.

I found the origin of my problem: In normal text editor, the pop-up "Inserts a new table" does not work when running TOTARA on Google Chrome browser.

I tried to insert a table when running TOATARA on IE and it worked fine.

Cheers.
