[thelist] table layout (help!)

[Jeff]

rudy,

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: From: <Rudy_Limeback at maritimelife.ca>
:
: note you can make it toggle the table border
: on/off by a slight enhancement
:
: at the end, instead of assigning the border a
: value of 1, assign it this value instead --
:    (document.all[i].border=='0')?'1':'0'
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you can even make it ask you how big you want the borders to be:

javascript:border=prompt('How many pixels do you want the table borders to
be?',1);if(border){for(i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)if(document.all[i].tagN
ame=='TABLE')void(document.all[i].border=border);}

copy, paste, rinse, lather, repeat.

the reason we (josh and myself) edited it from the toggle bookmarklet is
that occasionally you'll wanna see the overall table structure of a page
where one of the embedded tables already has it's border turned on.  what
will happen is all tables with borders turned off will be set to 1 and all
tables with their borders on will be set to 0.  that's obviously not the
intended result as you'd rather see them all on.

thanks,
