Tables trouble

[Terry Vogelaar]

Hi all,

Although I use RunRev a lot, table fields are new to me. There was no  
need for me to explore the possibilities of these before. Until now.  
So the problems I run into might be stupid beginners mistakes...

I figured out I can fill the table with tab delimited lines. So I  
populated the table with a 'put this into fld "table"' script. But as  
soon as I edit one of the cells, the entire table content is erased.  
 From then on, I can add as many cells as I like (manually) without  
erasing anything I typed before. But everything I enter using a  
script is bound to be erased after the first manual modification. Why?

Also, why is the textheight of a table field empty if a script tries  
to obtain it?

And why is the table field not responding like a normal field when I  
set the locktext to true?
I was hoping to make a table in which cells in certain columns act  
like checkboxes; I click on the cell and a dot or checkmark appears -  
I click on it again and it is toggled off. But although the locktext  
is true, the table remains editable and no mouseup event is sent to  
the field. Do I need to have a transparent button over the table to  
handle the mouseup events? Or is there some other clever solution to  
do this?
