How to select simultaneously different cells in table field

Hello,

I've searched the forum for an answer to my question but cannot find one.
So I post this question here, hope someone knows how to solve my problem.

The question is :

I got a table field with (in a simplified version) two columns and multiple rows.
When I click a cell in the second column, I want all the cells of this column to appear hilited (or selected, never got the substantial difference...).

Thanks for the help,

Zouhair.

Hi Zouhair,

You have to emulate this, e.g. by putting a blue transparent rectangle over the column.

Best,

Mark

Another option is to replace the single 'table' field with a pair of 'list' fields. They can be scripted to work in unison, and that will allow you to hilite individual cells as you see fit.
See this site for an example: http://www.rpi.edu/~simonk/technical.html

Hope this helped,
