Creating a table in Cascade
Tables are a good way to organize data on a page. All tables must have a header row for accessibility purposes. The Cascade table design is preformatted to show a black header row and alternating striped body rows.
On the toolbar, click "Table" and select the number of columns and rows. You can add more columns and/or rows later.
You can also right click in the WYSIWYG and select "Table" to create a table.
- Once you create the table, place your cursor in any of the cells and go to>>Formats>>Custom>>Table
The top row must be a "header row" in order to meet accessibility guidelines for screen readers.
The table will not display correctly while in Draft mode.
Place your cursor inside a cell in the top row>>right click>>Row>>Row Properties>>change Row Type to Header
Change "Row type" to Header:
You will not see the changes on the "edit" page - you must "Preview Draft" to see the table formatted correctly.
Here is the correctly formatted table:
Header Column 1 | Header Column 2 | Header Column 3 |
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet |
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet |
Rows
Tabbing through the rows will create a new row, or right-click in a cell to add/delete a row.
Columns
Highlight a column and right-click to add/delete columns.
