there are two options for this. the recommended is to use a repeat structure within the xform to capture the data and then in your rendering engine template, read in that data and render a table. if your preference is to have the user enter tabluar data within the richtexteditor, you can include the tinymce plugin for tables by patching xforms.js. in 2.1E there will be external configuration available to enable this feature.

Hi Thank you very much for this…………

I did modifications in xforms.js as below and all the advance tools are getting displayed in the editor toolbar.

tinyMCE.init({
theme : "advanced",
mode : "exact",
elements : "editor",
save_callback : "saveContent",
plugins : "table",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_buttons1_add : "fontselect,fontsizeselect",
theme_advanced_buttons2_add : "separator,forecolor,backcolor",
theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before : "tablecontrols,separator",
theme_advanced_disable: "styleselect",
extended_valid_elements : "a[href|target|name],font[face|size|color|style],span[class|align|style]"
});

The same code i added in xforms.js in alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0R1…. but it's not working …….

It's really frustating and lot of time is getting wasted…. I don't understand why they didn't provide all the advance controls(table,html source view) as default in the tinyMCE editor…………

How should we work without having these basic features?

pls help me to include all the advance controls in the editor…..
