I'm using a .jar file to extract the text contents of MS Word documents. The extracted text needs to have some metadata associated with it so I know something about the original formatting. The requirement is to preserve the document structure and some of the style info.
Let me see... What would be a convenient xml dialect to do that?
Oh yeah, HTML!
Since I can completely control the output from the .jar I can just wrap stuff up in <font> and <b> tags for things like headings, but what to do with tables?
Makes sense to me to just use the regular HTML table tags. That way I have something that can also be used as a fragment in a HTML page.
Now I need to find a way to render them so drag select works and I'll be a happy bunny.

Whoever is parsing the data to be put in tables should be removed from the process. Flex should be the presentation tier in this instance, not HTML.----- Original Message -----From: Mehdi, AghaSent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 1:58 PMSubject: RE: [flexcoders] HTML Text in TextAreaYeah, only if I could parse it enough to create an array of objects out of any number of HTML table rows with 2 columns each.

Use MXML instead.
You can use Grid, VBox, HBox, etc. to do what a table tag does, and more.

Wow, that sucks. I can use any other control that will help do that sort of thing. If Flash player can not render <table><tr><td> what tags can I use to give the html a grid look? Actually, the html is a result of CHTTP call to a remote server and I parse the whole document to extract the piece I want. I can replace all my TABLE related tags with anything that will help.
Thanks

Yeah,
The TextArea doesn't render table tags. I don't think the flash player HTML capabilities support table tags, but I really could use this sort of functionality.
Has anyone got an example of rendering a table in Flash?
I've seen a few examples, but one of the requirements for me is to be able to drag select inside the cells and across multiple cells. FlashPaper allows you to do this, so I know it's technically possible, but I haven't seen anything else that does it.

Hi All,
How can I show HTML in TextArea so that instead of spitting out html tags, it actually renders html? I am replacing "<" and ">" with "<" and ">" respectively before I send it to Flash Client. If I don't replace that it does render HTML but doesn't show data in html table format and I have table in my html.
Thanks
