-----Original Message----- From: Sheila Fenelon Re: php and css tables
Hi drew, I'm confused, where exactly are you doing this > > .top{background-color:"$top_row_color";} > table{border: 1px solid "$main_table_border_color";} > Is it in a .css file or a .php file? It needs to be in a .php file and the values need to be echo'd like of so, top{background-color:<?php echo $top_row_color ?>;} table{border: 1px solid <?php echo $main_table_border_color ?>;} Sheila ========================================================================= The script is PHPSlideShow v0.6.2 by Greg Lawler. It functions fine. I'm just trying to modify his table from tag soup to css. I'm expanding the embedded css style sheet within the php scripted page. That is to say the entire page is written by the script. It is not a page with an embedded script. The background colors, border colors, font colors, and several others are defined as variables early in the script. The html includes those variables along with an exploded array to create the slideshow page. Your solution doesn't work. Although I'm sure if my explanation were more articulate your answer would have changed and worked. What does turn out to work is just to drop the quotes in the embedded style sheet. So both of these work: <table width="$main_table_width" align="center" valign="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="$main_table_border_color"> and: <style type="text/css"> table{border:1px solid $main_table_border_color; text-align:center;width:600px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;} </style> I remain confused as to why quotes and not quotes. I do understand why echo doesn't work. Thanks for your help it actually did get me to try the combination that worked, even if I thought I had tried it already. drew ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
