Tables cut off the contents of cells.

Ideally, I would like to display all 6 columns (but the email field gets cut off with longer emails)

I have found a workaround - delete the less imperative data columns

Is there an option that allows to resize these tables?
Maybe I overlooked it.

Please let me know, thanks!

Hay Anthony,

At the current time, Wix Tables allows you to select between equal width columns, at which time we divide the width of the table by the number of columns and use that as the width of each column.

You can also set the width of columns individually in the editor, and if the total width of the columns is greater then the width of the table itself you will have an horizontal scroll bar.

Two other alternatives that we do not have at this time (because they also create some anomalies) are to try and auto fit the columns width to the content. One variation is to try to fit it all to the table width, which in many cases causes content of cells to be clipped. Another alternative is to auto fit to the cell contents but not restrict to the table width, which in most cases will cause an horizontal scroll bar.

Do you think any of the two other alternatives can work in your case?

Hi Yoav,

Thanks for the response.

I didn’t see the option to set the width of columns individually in the editor until now. The horizontal scroll bar is not horrible, though I think trying to auto fit the columns width to the content would be perfect. The more urgent issue would be the way the tables get displayed in the mobile editor. It would be great if the horizontal tables lined up vertically on mobile, like the list builder. In my case, I could still work around that but hiding the element on mobile, and displaying a message that directs to a desktop version.

Also - I need to add a line of code to notify me when new submissions are made through my form.
So when: Form value = TRUE, an email gets sent with the {Full name} in the subject line of the email.

Where would I insert this code?

Hay Anthony,

If I understand what you are asking, how to trigger an email on form posting, you are looking for the dataset onAfterSave event. You can also use the onBeforeSave event, which happens before the save, allowing you to also block the save operation.

There is another post in this forum about how to send email using a 3rd party service (we do not offer an email API at this time).

Hi Yoav,

Is there any way I can know when someone signs up? Or I have to use an API?

sings up as a site member? or competes a form?

We do not have an event that you can listen on for site member signups. For a form submission, you can use the dataset events as explained above.

Yes, for sign ups, when thy complete the form.

Is there an instructions page on the dataset events?

I’d like to set this up.

The dataset events are documented as part of out reference.
