text color

[de Beers]

How do I change the default "black" text to white in a table?
Here is the script
echo "<table border=1, table width=200%, bgcolor=#6699FF >\n";

Where and how do I add "text color="FFFFFFF? ??

Wait here while I look up basic HTML in my book of PHP stuff.

.....

Oh, alright. Style sheets are your friend.

<table border="1" width="200%" style="backgrou nd color: #6699FF; color:
#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td>
White on blue. Sorta.
</td>
</tr>
</table>

That's pure HTML/CSS and not a PHP question:

<table style='border:1 px solid #000; width:200%; background-color:#69F;
color: #FFF'>

What is this? "background color:"? i think it sgould just be
"background :". I'd believe "background-color:", but that? Does it work?
Which browser? Is it standard?[color=blue]

A typo. Should be "background-color".

Agh! Thanks for clearing that up, I did wonder why thomas"stopspam mers" was
confused. My fault for not cutting & pasting (I had something else in the
buffer, lazy).

The HTML and CSS groups are that way -------------->

First, why do you need a 200% wide table? That will make the table 200% as
wide as its container.
Tables are for tabular data. As such, the do not need to be any larger than
the data which they contain.

Lemme see if I can fix this:
echo "<table id=\"table_id_h ere\">\n";

Much better!

Now, in your CSS file, use:

#table_id_here{
border: 1px;
width: xxx; /* Where xxx is whatever you determine that isn't some
gibberish like 200% */
background-color: #6699ff;
color: #ffffff;
}


HTH!

could also use an inline style tag.

echo "<table border='1' width='100%'
style='backgrou nd-color:#6699FF;c olor:#DDEEFF;'> \n";

Sure. And that would mean that you'd have to go back to that line of your
PHP code in order to change the appearance in the case of the inevitable
redesign.

Re: text color

Thanks!

Right about the 200% etc etc - but have another question.. below is the
script - the first row is the heading extracted from exel file - I would
like to make it white. I have figured out how to effect "col.firstC ol" but
not the first row. any ideas?

$result = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM BiaMembers WHERE BoardMember = '1'");
print "<table>";
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row ($result))
{
$row = 1-$row;
$color = ($row==0)?"#009 9FF":"#CCCCCC" ;
printf("<tr
bgcolor=$color> <td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td>
<td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</tr>\n",
$myrow[1], $myrow[2], $myrow[3], $myrow[4], $myrow[5],
$myrow[6], $myrow[7], $myrow[8], $myrow[9], $myrow[12], $myrow[14]);
}
print "</table>";
