js508table cmd in visual formatter

Lee

Hi I'm trying to get the js508table command to work. I've set up the table pop up menu and added in the command as per the dev manual. however when I click into a table and select the js508table button from the pop up i get the following error. "Please select a table to edit section 508 data table properties."

What Am I doing wrong.

(another possible symptom / problem could also be the fact the table tag does not seem to be having an effect. I set it up in the following way but all the panels are still visible)

{table enabled="true" visiblelayoutframe="false" visibleborderframe="false" visiblebackgroundframe="false" visibleaccessibilitybtn="true" visiblecellaccessibilityframe="false"}
{cmd name="cmdtable" key="tablemenu" ref="cmdTbl"/}
{cmd name="cmdinserttable" key="instable" ref="mnuITbl"/}
{cmd name="cmdinsertrow" key="insrow" ref="mnuIRow"/}
{cmd name="cmdinsertcolumn" key="inscol" ref="mnuICol"/}
{cmd name="cmdinsertcell" key="inscell" ref="mnuICell"/}
{cmd name="cmddeleterows" key="delrow" ref="mnuDRow"/}
{cmd name="cmddeletecolumns" key="delcol" ref="mnuDCol"/}
{cmd name="cmddeletecells" key="delcell" ref="mnuDCell"/}
{!--{cmd name="cmdmergecells" key="mergecell" ref="mnuMC" /}
{cmd name="cmdsplitcell" key="splitcell" ref="mnuSC" /}--}
{cmd name="cmdtableproperties" key="tableprop" ref="mnuTProp"/}
{cmd name="cmdcellproperties" key="cellprop" ref="mnuCProp"/}
{cmd name="js508table" ref="mnu508table"/}
{/table}



See below for the config changes I've made

config for 508 tables
{menu}
...
{button command="cmdtable" popup="tablepopup"/}
...
{/menu}
{popup name="tablepopup"}
{button command="js508table"/}
{button command="cmdinserttable"/}
{button command="cmdinsertrow"/}
{button command="cmdinsertcolumn"/}
{button command="cmddeleterows"/}
{button command="cmddeletecolumns"/}
{button command="cmdtableproperties"/}
{/popup}

and in the external tag

{external}
...
{command name="js508table"}
{image src="[eWebEditProPath]/btn508table.gif"/}
{caption localeRef="mnu508table"/}
{tooltiptext localeRef="mnu508table"/}
{/command}
...
{/external}

Sorry for the post (although the visual formatter and the even worse ektron documentation need to take some of the blame). Clicking into the table does not count. You need to balance the curser on the table border so the entire thing becomes selected.


Seems to work now (my users will kill me for inflicting this on them however)
