Horizontal table resizing broken in FF 3.0 and FF 2.0

[weswinham]

The horizontal table resizing doesn't work on:

• Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04, Mac OS X 10.5.4, or Windows XP
• Firefox 2.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 or Windows XP

It probably doesn't work in FF 2.0 on Ubuntu, but I don't have it loaded. The resize buttons show up in all cases, and you're allowed to drag the table sideways with the numbers showing the dimensions, but when you release, it snaps back to its prior position on the horizontal. Vertical resizing works just fine.

I'd be happy to completely disable the table resizing, since this is a WYSIWYG behaviour, but unfortunately I can't find a reliable way to remove the resize buttons...

Why do you want to resize tables? I mean, table cells automatically expand when you type or remove text.

FYI, the table width is configured in the iframe's CSS file, wymiframe.css.

table         { font-size: 12px; width: 500px; }

I don't particularly want to resize tables, but if there appears to be an option to resize them, it makes sense for them to actually resize. I can see some people interested in resizing tables, but for my purposes, maybe I should be looking for a way to remove the resize buttons as you've mentioned.

Thanks for the tip on where the table css is stored for the editor. Perhaps it will be more useful for me to just set the tables to 100% width so that they always appear expanded in the editor, which will hopefully remove most of the confusion.

OK. If you find a way to remove the buttons, thanks for sharing it.
