Admin help class CSS

[Mike Dewhirst]

I'm a CSS dunce so please point me in the right direction (docs or
whatever) to figure out how to adjust table layout in Admin help_text.

The table displays properly but is too greedy with screen real-estate. I
want to reduce table padding and cell separation. I copied the following
from the view source page and is what I want to tweak with CSS ...

<div class="help">
Blah blah ... the following:
<table>
<tr><td>aluminium</td><td>bromine</td></tr>
<tr><td>zirconium</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
</table>
</div>

There are actually a few more rows between bromine and zirconium but I
chopped them for brevity.

Thanks

Mike

By all means. If I wasn't entirely clear, I am using html inside model.field help_text - which works nicely in the Admin for <em> and <strong> and the like.

The mission is to design <td> CSS styling to reduce padding and remove cell boundaries and adjust colours. I need to offer sophisticated styled "help" for decision support for users.

I can adjust normal help_text font styling in the Admin by inserting my own css stylesheet which appears after all the Django stylesheets except responsive.css.

My real problem is CSS brainspace. 

Thanks for any ideas

Cheers

Mike

If you have a pure CSS question, this list can be very helpful:

Thank you Larry ... I'll give it a try - although I suspect it will need a Django guru because it is deep in the admin and possibly protected from ordinary fiddling.
