How to edit all cells in a table? Options

[sajox]

Hello everybody!
I am new and I hope to have a good cooperation with all of you.
I need your help.

I would like to edit the cells in the table. I would like to change the color of all the cells. How can I do that? I know of a way to change the color of each row individually but this seems boring to me and requires a lot of time for large tables. I would like to change the color of the borders and backgrounds of all the cells in the table in a simpler way

Hello!

CSS lets you do that easily. See the link to the CSS reference at the top of the page (it's a bit old now, but most of what's written there still applies).

Thank you for your reply . I’ve seen on youtube that it’s much easier with CSS and I agree with that. However is there any way to do this with Html code or do I have to use CSS?

You could add the styling in a STYLE attribute:

CODE

<table style="color: blue; background: white;">
...

This is not practical in the long run though, then it's much better to place all the page's (or site's) CSS in one place.

No, you can't do it with HTML. What Christian shows above, using the style attribute, is still using CSS. And you want to change individual cell borders and backgrounds if I understood you right. Then you would need to use the style attribute with every TD.

What you asked for can only be done with CSS in a separate style sheet or in a style block in head. What's your problem with that? It's not hard. You don't need to read the whole book to do this.
