How to change the properties of a table cell?

[AlexR]

I have a table in HTML inside my page that has all the cells set to a color of gray background and I want to be able to change this color at runtime. I have checked the Programmable button and named the cells. This is a sample of my code that I am trying to execute. tbl_cell_1.setProperty("BGCOLOR", "BLUE"
This does nothing to the cell it still displays as gray when the page is called. Any help is appreciated.

If you want to do it in Java, you need to include it in the rowGenerateBegin. See also page 240 in the programmer's guide from version 3.7 december 2000, row-level formatting.

Another way is to use javascript. In short...

var myLayer;
myLayer = document.all[id];
myLayer.style.backgroundColor = '#d2d1dc';
myLayer.style.color='black';

[id ] is the name of the cell.
This javascript is for Internet Explorer 5.0+ It don't work with IE4 or NS < 6.1.

The advantage of javascript here is, you don't need a page-submit to alter the colors.

Hope this helps,
