Hi

Would like to add a dropdown menu to my site where users can select the amount of columns and rows for inserting a table.
Should work similar to the table dropdown menu in libreoffice writer.
I know how to do the grabbing which cell has been clicked, this is already done with javascript.

What I need to know is:
How can I make it appear like on this screenshot?

I'm not sure if this is even possible, since it will have to work for any amount of rows and any amount of columns being selected (will be limited, but within the limits it has to work for any amount).
It's not a big problem if that is not possible, but it would be nice to have.

Thanks

It'll be hard to do anything but do it for you unless you specify exactly where you're stuck. Or maybe that's what you are asking for - for someone to do it for you?

Logically, you'll want to check row and cell number for hovered cell (which you have on your screenshot) and (for example) apply a class (.selected) for everyone of those cells.

for example, paint out the table:

I was bored.

Well, that is basically what I want, but without javascript
Seems this is impossible, but I wanted to ask anyway.
Will probably do it with js since the whole editor uses js anyway.

Thanks

LOL what are you going to code it in then, xml? Your foolness is stunning.

So... you want client-side operations that will require logic to complete, but you don't want to use a programming language to do it?
