Help With CSS - 7/10/2004 7:16:05   
Would someone be able to help me. I have had replies here re: CSS before but as I am not knowledgeable in it, I am not able to solve my problem.
What I want to do is make a CSS so that most of the tables in my web site change colour and cell padding. How can I link a CSS to the tables on my site only and not to the text on my web pages. I really need step by step details or can someone write a CSS for me so that I can just insert the colours I want and cell padding required - thanks.

Yes, this looks helpful, although I don't want a mouse-rollover function. I just want the look of the tables to be changed. Can I use this code for this function?

Spooky my boy, that JavaScript:)

Gill - Post a link to the page with tables you want to format, and I'll write a Stylesheet for you to play with. And give full instructions for implementation

The link is http://www.eurovisionarchive.cjb.net - click on the history link then countries or years - it's all of the country and years pages mainly and a few others, but the others I can do manually - you can write a style sheet but indicate where I put the colour and the padding in, as every few months I change the colour and padding and I want to know where to put in these bits of information - thanks for your help.

Hi Gill, if i am understanding correctly what you want, all you need to do is write a style sheet with styles for your table. I'll wait for your reply before I send you any links. But I think what you would do is write style sheets for the backgrounds of your tables. Are you familiar with writing style sheets?

Yes - I need to alter loads of tables in loads of pages but not alter the background of the page or the shared borders.

As for writing CSS - I do not have a clue - and would appreciate some help. I have set up a CSS in my web site and it works fine but cannot make a table CSS only - thanks.

Hi gill,
Ok, you can do what you are asking about. I'm going to send you a few links for doing tables and css.

This is going to be fairly easy, and you can come here for help. Give me a bit of time to search for some links for you.

To start with, you are going to make this in a notepad editor type thing. And then save your file with a css extension. All this is going to be is a text file with the css extension. You could name it tables.css, You are also going to link this in the head of your html document like t his:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tables.css">
Notice the href, this is where you put the name of your css file.

I also would suggest, in case you plan on using css in the future is to take a look HERE For links to information, and also, I'm reading a good book that I have put information for in Here . I picked mine up for a really great price and have been reading it constantly. It has great exercises in it that you follow along for each module/chapter.

Ok Gill, I am doing some searching and will post the links as I find them so that you can start reading them.

http://www.pageresource.com/dhtml/csstut9.htm

The next one is just to give you some information on background-color property.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-color.asp

On the following link you will see a table on the page that is styled with css. You can view the source, if you would like to see the css file on this page, let me know and I'll pm it to you. It would be a good idea for you to look at the source as well as the css style sheet on this one so that you can see how things are styled.
