Hi u ALL!
How can I change the look & feel of an html table using Css?
Ops! I'm not talkin' about font face, background color or border tweaks... What I need is to get a
static precoded html table and give a different structural look with Css and things like display
cells like pharagraphs, show 3 columns like 1 column, etc.
Can this be done with Css?
or just HTML recoding is needed?
Txs in adv

Forget the tables for layout and just use CSS. While it's possible to style tables with CSS, they should be used for tabular data only.

hi LadynRed,
Txs for your quick reply!
Everything I code is formatted with CSS, but in this case If I do that, I'd recode houndreds of old html pages.

Well, that's unfortunate, and I feel your pain - been there, done that. However, the type of formatting you would attempt to do just isn't going to be possible with just CSS.

ups! ok, txs
through work days are comin snif

You know, I think you should just remove the tables and recode it, trust me, going through that for a client right now myself, it's a pain, but in the end it'll be worth it if you ever want to change them again.

Having been thru the process more than once, one with a site containing over 1,000 pages, the easiest thing to do is re-code the layout completely as a new file. Then just copy your old content into the new layout. You'll have fewer headaches in the end.

Yup, we've all been there. If you can, use Dreamweaver, you can then make a template which you may be able to apply to the old pages and save yourself some of the work. It also has a scary find-and-replace-in-the-whole-site feature, but don't forget to have a good backup before you use this!!
