Calendar Control with External CSS

[nevets2001uk]

Hi,

I have a asp.net calendar control on one of my web pages and would like to control it's appearance via my external cascading style sheet. The code for the control is currently as follows...

<asp:Calendar
ID=&quot;calCalendar&quot;
cssClass=&quot;CalendarControl&quot;
DayNameFormat=&quot;FirstLetter&quot;
Font-Size=&quot;12px&quot;
PrevMonthText=&quot;<img src='schemes/bluegrey/images/previousarrow.gif' border='0' alt='Previous Month' />&quot;
NextMonthText=&quot;<img src='schemes/bluegrey/images/nextarrow.gif' border='0' alt='Next Month' />&quot;
ShowNextPrevMonth=&quot;True&quot;
Width=&quot;100%&quot;
DayStyle-BackColor=&quot;#D9E4E8&quot;
CellSpacing=&quot;2&quot;
BorderStyle=&quot;None&quot;
TitleStyle-BackColor=&quot;Transparent&quot;
TitleStyle-Font-Bold=&quot;True&quot;
OtherMonthDayStyle-ForeColor=&quot;#B2B2B2&quot;
DayHeaderStyle-BackColor=&quot;#D0D0D0&quot;
Runat=&quot;Server&quot; />

I've tried this in my css but it didn't seem to affect the appearance at all

.calendarcontrol { daynameformat : firstletter; callspacing : 2px; }

and after removing those lines from the asp.net code it reverts to it's default appearance for those elements.

Is it possible to control all of the above elements with CSS?

Thanks,

Steve

You have a typo in callspacing that will prevent you from controlling that property.

I don't think daynameformat is a CSS property to begin with.

.CalendarControl
{ cellspacing:2px;font-size:12px;borderstyle:none;width:100% }

They look like the ones you want to override.

I did wonder about the daynameformat etc! So it's not going to be possible to control others such as...

OtherMonthDayStyle-ForeColor=&quot;#B2B2B2&quot;
DayHeaderStyle-BackColor=&quot;#D0D0D0&quot;

...then? What I'm doing is a skinned site so I need to change those in my CSS if I can.

Looks like I may end up spending some time on a suitable workaround...darn!

If anyone has a suggestion I'd welcome it!
