In Mozilla Firefox highlight only certain rows, columns, or cells of an HTML table by holding down the Ctrl key
on the keyboard and click each cell individually, clicking and dragging
the mouse up or down a column, or dragging a mouse left or right on a
row. For example, if you wanted to select the data in the below second
column of the HTML table hold down the Ctrl key and while holding down
the key click the "Example 2" cell and drag down to "Four". Once
selected press Ctrl + C to copy the data and paste it elsewhere.
Example 1 | Example 2 | Example 3 |
One | Three | Five |
Two | Four | Six. |
Note: Unfortunately, this tip only works in Firefox, other browser such as Chrome and Internet Explorer do not support this feature.
