void deleteTable ( )

Delete table methods Delete starting at the selected cell or the cell (or table) enclosing the selection anchor The selection is collapsed and is left in the cell at the same row,col location as the previous selection anchor, if possible, else in the closest neigboring cell

void deleteTableCell ( PRInt32 number )

Delete cell elements as well as contents

When there are more than 1 selected cells, number is ignored. For Delete Rows or Columns, the complete columns or rows are determined by the selected cells. E.g., to delete 2 complete rows, user simply selects a cell in each, and they don't have to be contiguous.

Arguments:

number: Number of contiguous cells, rows, or columns

void deleteTableCellContents ( )

Delete just the cell contents This is what should happen when Delete key is used for selected cells, to minimize upsetting the table layout

void deleteTableColumn ( PRInt32 number )

Arguments:

number

void deleteTableRow ( PRInt32 number )

Arguments:

number

nsIDOMElement getCellAt ( nsIDOMElement table , PRInt32 rowIndex , PRInt32 colIndex )

Get a cell element at cellmap grid coordinates A cell that spans across multiple cellmap locations will be returned multiple times, once for each location it occupies

Get a cell at cellmap grid coordinates and associated data A cell that spans across multiple cellmap locations will be returned multiple times, once for each location it occupies Examine the returned startRowIndex and startColIndex to see if it is in the same layout column or layout row: A "layout row" is all cells sharing the same top edge A "layout column" is all cells sharing the same left edge This is important to determine what to do when inserting or deleting a column or row

PRUint32 getSelectedCellsType ( nsIDOMElement element )

Generally used after GetSelectedOrParentTableElement to test if selected cells are complete rows or columns

Arguments:

element: Any table or cell element or any element inside a table Used to get enclosing table. If null, selection's anchorNode is used

Returns:

0 aCellElement was not a cell (returned result = NS_ERROR_FAILURE) TABLESELECTION_CELL There are 1 or more cells selected but complete rows or columns are not selected TABLESELECTION_ROW All cells are in 1 or more rows and in each row, all cells selected Note: This is the value if all rows (thus all cells) are selected TABLESELECTION_COLUMN All cells are in 1 or more columns and in each column, all cells are selected

nsIDOMElement getSelectedOrParentTableElement ( out AString tagName , out PRInt32 count )

Examine the current selection and find a selected TABLE, TD or TH, or TR element. or return the parent TD or TH if selection is inside a table cell Returns null if no table element is found.

void getTableSize ( nsIDOMElement table , out PRInt32 rowCount , out PRInt32 colCount )

Get the number of rows and columns in a table from the layout's cellmap If table is null, it will try to find enclosing table of selection ancho Note that all rows in table will not have this many because of ROWSPAN effects or if table is not "rectangular" (has short rows)

Arguments:

number

after

void insertTableRow ( PRInt32 number , PRBool after )

Arguments:

after

void joinTableCells ( PRBool mergeNonContiguousContents )

Merges contents of all selected cells for selected cells that are adjacent, this will result in a larger cell with appropriate rowspan and colspan, and original cells are deleted The resulting cell is in the location of the cell at the upper-left corner of the adjacent block of selected cells

If there are no selected cells, and selection or caret is in a cell, that cell and the one to the right are merged

Arguments:

mergeNonContiguousContents: : If true: Non-contiguous cells are not deleted, but their contents are still moved to the upper-left cell If false: contiguous cells are ignored

void normalizeTable ( nsIDOMElement table )

Scan through all rows and add cells as needed so all locations in the cellmap are occupied. Used after inserting single cells or pasting a collection of cells that extend past the previous size of the table If table is null, it uses table enclosing the selection anchor This doesn't doesn't change the selection, thus it can be used to fixup all tables in a page independant of the selection

Arguments:

table

void selectAllTableCells ( )

void selectBlockOfCells ( nsIDOMElement startCell , nsIDOMElement endCell )

Select a rectangular block of cells: all cells falling within the row/column index of startCell to through the row/column index of the endCell startCell can be any location relative to endCell, as long as they are in the same table

Arguments:

startCell: starting cell in block

endCell: ending cell in block

void selectTable ( )

void selectTableCell ( )

Table Selection methods Selecting a row or column actually selects all cells (not TR in the case of rows)

void selectTableColumn ( )

void selectTableRow ( )

void setSelectionAfterTableEdit ( nsIDOMElement table , PRInt32 row , PRInt32 col , PRInt32 direction , PRBool selected )

Reset a selected cell or collapsed selection (the caret) after table editing

Arguments:

table: A table in the document

row: The row ...

col: ... and column defining the cell where we will try to place the caret

direction: If cell at (aCol, row) is not found, search for previous cell in the same column (aPreviousColumn) or row (ePreviousRow) or don't search for another cell (aNoSearch) If no cell is found, caret is place just before table; and if that fails, at beginning of document. Thus we generally don't worry about the return value and can use the nsSetSelectionAfterTableEdit stack-based object to insure we reset the caret in a table-editing method.

selected: If true, we select the whole cell instead of setting caret

void splitTableCell ( )

Split a cell that has rowspan and/or colspan > 0 into cells such that all new cells have rowspan = 1 and colspan = 1 All of the contents are not touched -- they will appear to be in the upper-left cell

nsIDOMElement switchTableCellHeaderType ( nsIDOMElement sourceCell )

Create a new TD or TH element, the opposite type of the supplied sourceCell 1. Copy all attributes from sourceCell to the new cell 2. Move all contents of sourceCell to the new cell 3. Replace sourceCell in the table with the new cell

Arguments:

sourceCell: The cell to be replaced

Returns:

The new cell that replaces aSourceCell
