I have a JTable with one column which will take a
MM/DD/YY argument. I want to repeat the MM/DD/YY
string throughout the column. My problem now is 1)I cant for the life of me get the MM/DD/YY string to appear in each cell of the column and 2)
I need to place the cursor in each cell in order for it to read the users input properly, otherwise if i simply highlight it it wont work>>
What am I doing wrong I really need to solve this one. Thank you all
