Question

We have two wikis - an internal one and a public one. In the public wiki we've tweaked the CSS.

We had set up a simple table using the | A | B | C | method. It displays perfectly fine in IE in both the internal and public (CSS-designed) wiki (edit: I went back and it's not looking ok in IE in the public wiki either). However, in Firefox, the internal wiki's table looks fine, but the public wiki, when viewed with Firefox, does not have the cell separators. It appears to be in table format - everything is spaced out nicely. Only the lines are missing.

I was asked to check out the CSS. I don't see anything that might be causing the problem yet. I've been looking at the layout.css and the customized css I did for the public wiki.

Here's our page (I've used both Firefox and IE to see the problem): https://gopedia.gopetslive.com/twiki/bin/view/GoPedia/TrainingAnimations

Could this be a CSS issue and what would I look at to correct this?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Tables look is set by the TablePlugin. You might have different settings on your internal and public wikis.

OK We checked this. The plugins on both wikis are exactly the same. So this is not the problem.

I tried also making a new simple table on the public wiki - same problem. Any other ideas?

The Plugin settings might be overloaded in the TWikiPreferences?

Hmm....I don't know. What do you think? Here is our list of plugins for the wiki that's having problems.

Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = DefaultPlugin, SpreadSheetPlugin
Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = EmptyPlugin
Currently activated plugins: DefaultPlugin, SpreadSheetPlugin, CommentPlugin, EditTablePlugin, InterwikiPlugin, NatSkinPlugin, RedDotPlugin, RenderListPlugin, SessionPlugin, SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TablePlugin

We have different (and more!) plugins for the internal wiki that is displaying fine:

Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = DefaultPlugin, SpreadSheetPlugin
Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = EmptyPlugin
Currently activated plugins: DefaultPlugin, SpreadSheetPlugin, BugzillaLinkPlugin, BugzillaQueryPlugin, CalendarPlugin, CommentPlugin, EditTablePlugin, FlowchartPlugin, ForEachPlugin, HeadlinesPlugin, InterwikiPlugin, LocalCityTimePlugin, LocalTimePlugin, RenderListPlugin, SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TablePlugin

Check if there is an TABLEATTRIBUTES setting in your TWiki.TWikiPreferences or Main.TWikiPreferences.

I believe I checked Tableattribs originally; after checking again I find no settings in TwikiPreferences, and we don't have a TwikiPreferences ("The "Main" web does not exist"). When I go to TwikiPreferences I get a link to go back to TwikiPreferences.

The only thing I can think of now is that your tweaked the CSS is interfering with the TablePlugin settings. To verify, try to use the default PatternSkin: Append this to the view URL: ?skin=pattern (in case you modified the pattern skin, try ?skin=classic

OK the CSS was what I we were wondering in the beginning but I couldn't find anything that would make it do this; I'll try your tip and let's see what happens.

If you are on TWiki4.0.0 then there is a known bug which makes TWiki ignore many of the attributes of the Table Plugin. Bugs:Item1655

Upgrading to the most recent TWiki cures that. 4.0.3 will be released in not so many days from now.
