Hi,
I am using the new interface (not classic) for Robohelp 2019. After generating an html5 output, there is an extra empty cell at the end of the table. I couldn't find any clues in the code. Does anyone know why this is happening? Please see this URL: https://tesira-webhelp.biamp.com/#t=ForteX_Supported_Platforms.htm.
Below is a screenshot of how it looks in Robohelp:
Thank you,
Julianna
It could be the colgroup setting. There are 7 columns listed in there but only 5 columns of data in your table.
The topic you have sent is from the output. Maybe that is just a slip up creating this test project but if not you need to fix that in your main project.
Amber has identified that on your site there are seven columns defined. Delete the last two so that just these are shown.
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse:collapse; width:100%" width="100%">
<colgroup>
<col style="width:14.29%" />
<col style="width: 187px;" />
<col style="width: 191px;" />
<col style="widt

It's not a known issue.
I assume the screenshot is from author view. Same in Preview and same in the local generation?

Hi Peter,
The screenshot is what the author and preview look like. Quick generate shows the empty cell (this is currently online on our company website as well :(.
Thanks,
Julianna

Can you share the project? If you can, then see the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.
If you can't, could you import that topic and your CSS into a new project and share that?

How have you sent it? If you used wetransfer that does sometime take a while but otherwise nothing seen.

I emailed it to robohelp@grainge.org. It said I could email if it is 2019 new UI. It only has one topic in it so it isn't too big of a file.

I just emailed it again.

It may be getting blocked at your end, that happened recently and I may revert to always using WeTransfer or suchlike.
Give that a try. I'll look in the morning as it's late here.

Thank you Amebr. I was looking straight at that code and did not notice that there were seven columns. It's fixed now.
Thanks!

It's not a place we normally need to look, and usually I think RH takes care of keeping it in sync for us. Possibly the table was edited outside RH at some point and things got a little confused.

You might need to go into the code to fix it - I'm not sure if there are fields for it in the UI.

</colgroup>
You may want to set the widths to the same unit as well.

Thank you Peter! I can't believe I didn't see the extra columns in the code. I took your advice and made the column widths consistent. I really appreciate your help.
