> Bug in Director - Attn Macromedia <

[Steve Paulson]

Sorry, I'm not sure how to enter bugs. :)

In Director MX if you are creating an HTML Table on the fly using the Put X
after html command lines, I've found that the 'colspan' function works
perfectly (usually) but the 'rowspan' function never works.

Just thought you guys should know.

No one from Macromedia reads bug reports here, although it is good to point
them out for the benefit of other developers. The lack of proper HTML
support in Director is quite well known; it's just that the implemenation of
HTML is extremely old and doesn't appear to conform to any particular W3C
standard. Poor table support is one of the most complained about things, so
the more people who request this be fixed (or "upgraded", since it's not
technically a bug) the greater the possibility that it will actually happen
some time in the future. Therefore I recommend you file a a bug report at
the above URL, but at the same time, don't hold out a fix to be forthcoming
any time soon, since this has been known about for a long time.
