HI,
When I edit, in Authentic browser, an XML file containing an XML CALS table with a THEAD part and TBODY part it works. If I create a table in Authentic, I can just have the tbody part of the table. Is there a way to create the THEAD part ?
Thank you for your answer
Regards
Marc

Hi Marc,
I work with the html-table-standard and I have the same problem with <thead>.
I wrote the Problem to Altova Technical Support Team.
This is the answer:

Hello Jens,
Thanks for contacting us.
I am afraid that this is not currently possible but we do already have it logged as a feature request in our issues tracking database. It has the tracking
number and title:
"12010 - Would like to add Header and Footer (thead, tfoot) to a new CALS/HTML table. - not possible at present."
..and I have added your details to the record to help strengthen its chances of early consideration.
I would encourage you to subscribe to our occasional Developer's Newsletter to receive alerts regarding new releases which may at some point see this
request realised:
https://www.altova.com/joinspylist.html
Thanks for the feedback - it's much appreciated.
Don't hesitate to let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Best regards,

Now I´am waiting and hope it works in future version.
Regards

I can't believe this still hasn't been fixed in Authentic. CALS table support for adding header and footer rows is still needed!
I have created a macro that works around this missing feature by creating buttons that hide dynamically if they are needed.
InsertFooterRow macro in JavaScript:
Code:
// Insert table footer row into last modified XML file in startFolder
// since Altova Authentic doesn't support this feature for CALS tables
var fso, startFolder, recentFile, objTextFile, file, fso;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
startFolder = "c:\\tempfolder";
recentFile = null;
var files = fso.GetFolder(startFolder).files;
var i=0;
var subFlds = new Enumerator(files);
var s = "";
for (; !subFlds.atEnd(); subFlds.moveNext()) {
file = subFlds.item();
if((fso.GetExtensionName(file) == "xml")){
if((recentFile === null)){
recentFile = file;
}
else if ((file.DateLastModified > recentFile.DateLastModified)){
recentFile = file;
}
}
}
if((recentFile === null)){
Alert("no recent file found");
}
else{
// Alert("Most recently modified file is " + recentFile.Name + " " + recentFile.DateLastModified);
var strFileName;
strFileName = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(recentFile);
//Alert(strFileName);
var xml;
xml = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
xml.setProperty("ProhibitDTD", false);
xml.async = "false";
xml.validateOnParse = "false";
xml.resolveExternals = "false";
if (xml.load(strFileName)){
var tfoot, row, entry;
tfoot = xml.createElement("tfoot");
row = xml.createElement("row");
entry = xml.createElement("entry");
// insert tfoot before tbody
xml.getElementsByTagName("tgroup")[0].insertBefore(tfoot,xml.getElementsByTagName("tbody")[0]).appendChild(row).appendChild(entry);
xml.save(strFileName);
}
else{
Alert("Error loading XML " + strFileName);
Alert(xml.parseError);
}
}
Insert Header Row:
Code:
// Inserts a table header row into the last modified XML file in startFolder
// since Altova Authentic doesn't support this feature for CALS tables
var fso, startFolder, recentFile, objTextFile, file, fso;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
startFolder = "c:\\tempfolder";
recentFile = null;
var files = fso.GetFolder(startFolder).files;
var i=0;
var subFlds = new Enumerator(files);
var s = "";
for (; !subFlds.atEnd(); subFlds.moveNext()) {
file = subFlds.item();
if((fso.GetExtensionName(file) == "xml")){
if((recentFile === null)){
recentFile = file;
}
else if ((file.DateLastModified > recentFile.DateLastModified)){
recentFile = file;
}
}
}
if((recentFile === null)){
Alert("no recent file found");
}
else{
// Alert("Most recently modified file is " + recentFile.Name + " " + recentFile.DateLastModified);
var strFileName;
strFileName = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(recentFile);
//Alert(strFileName);
var xml;
xml = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
xml.setProperty("ProhibitDTD", false);
xml.async = "false";
xml.validateOnParse = "false";
xml.resolveExternals = "false";
if (xml.load(strFileName)){
var thead, row, entry;
thead = xml.createElement("thead");
row = xml.createElement("row");
entry = xml.createElement("entry");
if (xml.getElementsByTagName("tfoot")[0]){
// insert thead before tfoot
xml.getElementsByTagName("tgroup")[0].insertBefore(thead,xml.getElementsByTagName("tfoot")[0]).appendChild(row).appendChild(entry);
}
else {
// insert thead before tbody
xml.getElementsByTagName("tgroup")[0].insertBefore(thead,xml.getElementsByTagName("tbody")[0]).appendChild(row).appendChild(entry);
}
xml.save(strFileName);
}
else{
Alert("Error loading XML " + strFileName);
Alert(xml.parseError);
}
}
