formatting selected item in datagrid

RE: formatting selected item in datagrid

The textbox would not inherit the style for the EditItem (the latter is a
tablerow and the former is an input tag within the tablerow).

Try instead specifying a cssClass in the EditItemStyle. For example:
cssClass="MyEdi tItem", then in the Style section add

..MyEditItem TD{font-family:verdana; font-size:9px;}

RE: formatting selected item in datagrid

Make that

..MyEditItem td input{font-family:verdana; font-size:9px;}

Re: formatting selected item in datagrid

It worked. Thanks a lot.

A follow-up question: How can ensure that the column widths always
remain the same regardless of whether I am a view mode or in edit mode?

Re: formatting selected item in datagrid

You might want to follow up on questions of styling on:
comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.stylesheets

However, you can define the styles of a column within the TemplateColumns
themselves, e.g.:
<asp:TemplateCo lumn >
<ItemStyle CssClass ="Column1ItemSt yle"></ItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle cssClass="Colum n1HeaderStyle"> </HeaderStyle>
<FooterStyle CssClass ="Column1Footer Style"></FooterStyle>
<ItemTemplate >
<!-- place here your controls and HTML -->
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTempla te >
<!-- place here your controls and HTML -->
</EditItemTemplat e>
<FooterTempla te >
<!-- place here your controls and HTML -->
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>

Re: formatting selected item in datagrid

Yeah, I admit it: that was a very newbie-like question. Thanks for
replying anyway.
