Today I got a very difficult problem when selecting content of a table to copy and paste. I wanted to get contents (Data) which include each and every columns separately copy and paste to a Notepad. But you know when u highlight particular table will be highlight entire table as follow. I think you may have faced this situation.

So we cannot get a column content only. Fortunately I am using firefox 3.0.4 supported to do it. This is the way to select a column of a table.

Just click Ctrl and keeping hold, highlight a table moving mouse on a column which you need to get data. Then you can paste into a Notepad or excel sheet.

In addition you can select any row at a table.

And I check this ability within Opera, IE7 and Safari, but they don’t come with this option. Be work with Open source Firefox great Browser.
