Item9501: Deleting a table in WYSIWYG editor

There is no mechanism to delete a table in the WYSIWYG editor.

Also, once the table is created there should be some space within the cells, otherwise it is very clumsy to enter data. -- GuruprasadIyer - 19 Aug 2010

Normally you would just select the table and press delete. Do you have some example text where this doesn't work?

I do agree that the columns should be a sane width when they are created.

I'm afraid that because we are discussing changing the default behaviour of TinyMCE's table plugin - not something that we usually maintain for Foswiki - this should be regarded as an enhancement.

-- PaulHarvey - 19 Aug 2010

Please don't count the 'enhancement' priority as a dismissal - I think the problem with table column widths is an important usability issue that could easily be overridden.

In IE, I can delete the table by selecting it and pressing the delete button. However in FF it doesn't work; I have to go to the Raw Wiki editor and delete the table.

Which version of firefox?

-- PaulHarvey - 20 Aug 2010

Version: 3.6.3

-- GuruprasadIyer - 20 Aug 2010

It works fine in the beta version of firefox.

-- GuruprasadIyer - 26 Aug 2010

In IE you can click the table edges (get the resize handles) and use delete key to delete the table. In Firefox 3.6 (and below, I assume) you have to highlight the complete text of the table.

Confirmed, but I'm not sure what to do (the behaviour seems consistent with the moxiecode public demo)

-- PaulHarvey - 24 Oct 2010

Unless we provide moxiecode with a fix, we should add this to known issues and close.
