Rob,
Instead of importing actual html table tags, could you use tabs in
your text? Rev supports a small subset of HTML, but field objects
should respect the tabStops property.
A quick way to apply this to a simple table already formatted into
rows and columns using td and tr tags would be something like:
// translate the rows and columns to returns and tabs on our own
replace "</tr>" with cr in myText
replace "</td><td>" with tab in myText
// zap away the rest of the basic table tags
replace "<table>" with empty in myText
replace "</table>" with empty in myText
replace "<tr>" with empty in myText
replace "</tr>" with empty in myText
replace "<td>" with empty in myText
replace "</td>" with empty in myText
If you can control the source html entirely, I would suggest
formatting a Rev field to look how you want it, then *get* the
htmlText property of that field and see how Rev encodes it.
HTH,

The problem I'm seeing when I use this technique is that
Revolution no longer pays attention to the "hard column stops" in
the table field object when I start using the HTMLTEXT method.?
When I just use the native Revolution table-field object, I can set
the tab-stops to a certain width, and my data in each column never
runs into the other columns.? The minute I start using the HTMLTEXT
method, it appears that Revolution stops paying attention to it's
native tab-stops, and data that over-runs a column no longer gets
"cropped", but bleeds into the columns to it's right.
I suppose I could start heading in the direction of embedding a
browser into Rev to get this text-field functionality, but at that
point, I might as well just do the whole thing as a web-site.

Revolution?
you want the
HTMLText property, in the dictionary.
Important! The HTMLText property uses a tag structure that is
HTML-like,
but is not completely standard HTML, in order to accommodate the
full range
of text styling available in Revolution.
thus
set the htmltext of fld "dataTbl" to theStringSentFromPhp

I have php code from my server passing data into a rich-text field

this:
put URL "http://urltomyserver/getdata.php"; into field "rtfoutput"
This is a text field which is set up as a table with columns.
So far, this works well for me, but now I need the text field to have
different colored text data for some of the columns in this text
field.
The only way I can think to do this is to do something like has
the PHP code
pass data to revolution for the field like:
<?php
echo "<rtfcode for green>This text is green<rtfcode for red>and
this text is
red in the same column.";
?>
but I have no idea what would need to get passed to do such a thing.?
