Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15391
HTML Editor - cell background color not saved in HTML
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
In a new HTML doc, insert a table, 3 rows, 1 column, change background color of each cell, switch to HTML view, no code exists for the colors. Switch back to page view, colors still there, switch to HTML view, add BGCOLOR="<something>" on one of the TD tags. Switch back to page view, and only the modified cell will be colored, the others will be white again. Matt Needles
I guess you didn't change the cell bg but the paragraph bg (there's afine space betwwen the table border and theparagraph background color). Plus you may have following option under "Tools - Options - Load/Save - HTML Compatibility - Export": "HTML 3.2" (does not support paragraph bg) or "Netscape" (supports paragraph bg but there is a known bug in OOo on this point). WOrkaround: - modify the *cell* background - choos "OOo" or "Internet Explorer" as export folter

I *did* set the CELL <TD> background, as I specified in the original post. I *did*, as you say, have the export options set to Netscape, but that should be irrevelant, as <TD BGCOLOR="#0000FF"> is notlisted on webmonkey or htmlcompendium.com as browser-specific to Netscape or IE. In fact, I tested a page with <TD BGCOLOR="#RRGGBB"> tags in a table using both IE6 and Mozilla 1.5a, and they both displayed the table with the colors specified. I have concluded that the problem does not exist in 1.1RC3, no matter what the settings, except for HTML 3.2, which does not have that attribute for TD or TABLE, anyway. Thanks!
