[tw] Re: Format cells in a table

2010-02-12 Thread whatever
Using CSS, you can define classes. Then for the cells that need a
different look, you simply specify the class.
html
style
td {background: yellow;}
td.custom {background: pink;}
/style
table
tbody
tr
tdcell1/td
td class=customcell2/td
tdcell3/td
/tr
/tbody
/table
/html
In this case, the first and the third cell will be yellow and the
second pink.

Or you can directly specify the style for those cells.
html
table
tbody
tr style=background: yellow;
tdcell1/td
td style=background: pink;cell2/td
tdcell3/td
/tr
/tbody
/table
/html
In this example, the whole row will be yellow, except cell2, which
will be pink.

   Hi All

   I wish to modify the appearance of some cells in a table. I want to
   remove some of the borders and change the background colour of some
   cells in the table.

   I can set the background colour but only if I use a hex value for the
   colour. Setting the colour using [[ColorPalette::PrimaryPale]] does
   not work for me. Can I use the [[ColorPalette::]] values to set the
   colour of a table cell?

   !!Change background colour in cells 2-4, and 6-8 (~PrimaryPale =
   #9b9).
   |cell #1|bgcolor(#9b9):cell #2|bgcolor:#9b9;cell #3|background-

   |cell #5|bgcolor([[ColorPalette::PrimaryPale]]):cell #6|bgcolor:
   [[ColorPalette::PrimaryPale]]; cell #7|background-color:
   [[ColorPalette::PrimaryPale]]; cell #8|

   I can successfully remove the vertical line between two columns but
   cannot remove the horizontal line between two rows. How can i remove
   the horizontal border between two rows?

   !!Remove vertical line between column 1 and column 2 (Successful).
   |border-right-width:0; cell #1 |border-left-width:0; cell #2 | cell #3

   |border-right-width:0; cell #4 |border-left-width:0; cell #5 | cell #6

[tw] Re: Format cells in a table

2010-02-12 Thread Mike
Originally you had mentioned using ColorPalette colors in your table.

Might want to look at:
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#StyleSheetShortcuts

At the End you will find (did not include all of the code. . .)
/* [[ColorPalette]] text colors */
.Background { color:[[ColorPalette::Background]];}

/* [[ColorPalette]] background colors */
.BGBackground { background-color:[[ColorPalette::Background]];  }

Can copy the sections into your StyleSheet
or
import the StyleSheetShortcuts tiddler and transclude it via placing
[[StyleSheetShortcuts]] at the top or bottom of your StyleSheet.
(Effectively launching your StyleSheet + StyleSheetShortcuts at start
up)

Then could use the {{BGBackground{ My cool text here }}}

[tw] Re: Format cells in a table

2010-02-12 Thread AndrewMc
Thanks Mike for the information about StyleSheetShortcuts. I already
use this tiddler but did not have the latest version that included the
ColorPalette colours.
When using this approach in table cells, the text background is
formatted correctly, but not the entire background of the cell. This
can be seen in cell #2 below:

|cell #1|{{BGPrimaryPale{cell #2}}}|
|background-color:#8cf;cell #3|background-color:
[[ColorPalette::PrimaryPale]]; cell #4|
