How To Color Cell Text 1

JohnBates · Feb 9, 2004

Hi,

Another easy one, I'm sure.

I want to specify a color for the text in a certain cell.

In the TD tag, I tried TEXT="#FF0000" but it doesnt work.

I want to colot the text, not the cell background.

Thanks, John

Well there's a couple of ways but if you want to put the style in the td tag you would use;

Code:

<td [COLOR=red]style = &quot;color:red&quot;[/color]>content</td>

Or if you want to use a style in the head and a class for the td then you would do something like this;

Code:

<head>
[COLOR=red]<Style>
td.test {color:red}
</style>[/color]
</head>
<td [COLOR=red]class = &quot;test&quot;[/color]>

Hope this helpls

Thanks glenmac,

I'll go with the style/class combination because I need it to be reusable on several pages.

If you need it on several pages it's best to use a style sheet. Put all your styles in a file and save it as a css file ie. style.css in the same directory as your pages then link to it in your pages.

Code:

<head>
<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;style.css&quot;>
</head>

the style sheet style.css would have ;

Code:

td.test {color:red}

Thanks for the star. Hope this helps.
