Upgrading wrecked list colors; no tiger striping

[Jim Gagne]

I've been an EXTREMELY happy user of Active Scaffold. It's worked
great for three years. I have to move to a new ISP and in the process
upgrade Rails 1.2.3 -> 2.3.5. That's gone well. One remaining bug: the
default AS tiger striping (alternate rows different colors)
disappeared, and now everything is the same color as the overall CSS.
Blecch. Suggestions?

Forgot to mention: I upgraded to the latest AS too.

I FOUND THE ERROR!!

The stylesheet.css file omits the background-color attribute in two
places:

1. .active-scaffold tr.record td should include:
background-color: #E6F2FF;

2. .active-scaffold tr.even-record td should include:
background-color: #FFFFFF;

These attributes WERE present in the earlier version of AS I was
using, and they overrode the default, darker shading I had set for
"td" elsewhere on the site.

It was changed, I can't remember why, to .active-scaffold tr.record which works
too.

You're right I saw that, but the setting a new tr color does NOT
override a global td color set elsewhere on the site.

Without trying, I can't immediately see why this should be? The rules
of specificity would appear to favour the above rule over a simple
td { background-color: #something}

Can you show your override CSS?

Also play with firebug to help show the priority of the various rules

Good luck

Ed,
THANKS for your thoughts. My original CSS says simply:

td { font-size: 90%; margin-top: 16px; margin-right: 3px; color:
#404080; << etc. >> }

The original CSS appears BEFORE the AS "stylesheet.css" file. It
doesn't override it, but it doesn't need to. Setting a color for tr
will NOT affect a td style, unless there's NO previously declared td
style.

Then you can add .active-scaffold td { background: inherit }
