The delete table button does not show up in the editor after a table is created. We've tried it when the table is clicked on, highlighted, etc.

It would be really great to find out why this button isn't showing up.

To delete a table simply highlight the entire table and delete it. No additional button is needed.

Sometimes it's hard to select entire table in document, will be easy to remove whole table with button in tinymce...

To select a table as a whole

1) Click in the table

2) Look at the 'path' in the status line at the bottom of the edit window. This shows the type of HTML tag that is currently selected. When several HTML tag types are shown, it is the one on the right that is selected. For example if TABLE>>TR>>TD is shown in the status then it is a TD (one Table Data (TD) cell Item of a Table Row (TR) of the TABLE) that is selected and not the table as a whole. To select the full Table rather than the Data Cell, you need to click on the TABLE tag from the Path: in the Status line.

Note: You sometimes have to click this a second time to get it selected. The Table is not selected unless the word TABLE is the rightmost letters in the Path Status line.

3) Having selected the whole table you can now act on it such as assigning parameters with the Edit CSS or using the delete button.
