The only problem is that I don’t have any control over how the data is put into html since I’m retrieving it using CFHTTP from another web site. I apologize for turning this thread into Non-Flex related. If anyone has tips for me on how to parse the HTML posted to extract the data, please reply to me offlist.

 

Thanks

Whoever is parsing the data to be put in tables should be removed from the process.  Flex should be the presentation tier in this instance, not HTML.

Yeah, only if I could parse it enough to create an array of objects out of any number of HTML table rows with 2 columns each.

Use MXML instead.

 

You can use Grid, VBox, HBox, etc. to do what a table tag does, and more.

Wow, that sucks. I can use any other control that will help do that sort of thing. If Flash player can not render <table><tr><td> what tags can I use to give the html a grid look? Actually, the html is a result of CHTTP call to a remote server and I parse the whole document to extract the piece I want. I can replace all my TABLE related tags with anything that will help.

Yeah,

The TextArea doesn't render table tags. I don't think the flash player HTML capabilities support table tags, but I really could use this sort of functionality.

Has anyone got an example of rendering a table in Flash?

I've seen a few examples, but one of the requirements for me is to be able to drag select inside the cells and across multiple cells. FlashPaper allows you to do this, so I know it's technically possible, but I haven't seen anything else that does it.

Hi All,

How can I show HTML in TextArea so that instead of spitting out html tags, it actually renders html? I am replacing "<" and ">" with "&lt;" and "&gt;" respectively before I send it to Flash Client. If I don't replace that it does render HTML but doesn't show data in html table format and I have table in my html.

Thanks
