Anybody had a go with the execCommands of IE?

[Laphan]

Hi All

Been having a go with the HTML editing features of the execCommands in IE
and wondered if anybody knew how to add tables and/or imagemapping?

The amazing thing is that once you add a table, I'm currently pasting HTML
of a table into my editing iframe you can expand it, shrink it, put things
it, etc, but to create a command that inserts it into the editor to start
with, using pre-defined params such as how many rows and many columns was a
nightmare.

Does anybody know how to manipulate the table once it's in the editor? For
example, if the user initially creates a table with 3 cols and 5 rows and
then wants to add another row to the table how would you do this? I can
appreciate that DOM would need to be used, but how do you identify which
table you are in?

As for image mapping I haven't got a clue where to start with this, so would
appreciate some help.

Thanks

I don't think you are going to get that sort of specific code spoon feeding.
You'll have to play with the DOM to get it to do what you specifically want
to do.
