Have you got Taco to effectively function with tables and forms? We
find that in the case of tables, it appears to add a lot of
unnecessary clutter. But we haven't managed to get it to do
anything at all with forms which is a shame; because currently that
aspect of design is proving to be a pretty major stumbling block in
a project Gordon's working on.
Tables? Really?
When I want to add a table, I click the table option, fill in rows
and columns, and it produces a blank table with the dimensions I
requested. I'm not seeing any additional clutter at all. That's odd.
As for forms, taco html edit isn't very intelligent about forms.
When you select a form, you also need to select whether it's an
action, submit, a method, post, get, or the like. It's a bit of a
pain to get it to build a proper form w/o a lot of clicking on
options. As a result, I generally avoid taco's form generation, and
just paste in my own or write it from scratch as I go.
This is part of the reason I mentioned that taco html editor may not
be the best solution for folks who don't have a great deal of
experience with html editing, as it does tend to require you to know
more than an average html editor does, but for me, this is great,
because it means I'm not going to get extraneous html code inserted
into my document as so many other editors tend to do which irritates
me to no end.
I believe you can add costum snippets into the editor as well, so you
could have Gordon insert a blank form skeleton into the editor, then
select it from the list when he needed a form instead of having to go
through, and select all the parts of the form as required by taco.
Otherwise though, I find it an excellent editor, even for php code,
since it allows me to see my results right away w/o having to load
safari first.
Don't know if this helps, but feel free to write again if I left
anything out, or if something isn't clear.
