The tables are certainly a pretty frustrating object to deal with. I would 
certainly suggest using the FCK editor, you can at least see the borders to 
manipulate them when the width is set to 0.

We then use a site level css to style them, and add a zebrastripe js file to 
the mix for better readability. The catch with this is that an predefined ID 
has to be set to the table.

I find typically that if I create the table and assign the ID, the editors will 
just add and subtract items from it, usually never creating a new table.

Subject: Using Tables in RedDot


Hello,

I would like to hear of anyone who has had success in the creation and
styling of tables within the text editor of RedDot.

I know traditionally the code that the text editor spits out is far
from pretty but would like to hear of how you styled it effectively in
a way that would work in the published site.  Did you use the
stylesheet assigned to the editor?  Did you just use styles at the
site level instead?

I have the requirement to have a generic end content template that has
the ability to have good looking table results for featuring listing
such as sport league tables, timetables, programming info and instead
of creating some sort of dynamic reddot creation of tables use the
features already in the text editor product.

Cheers,
BjP
