[TW5] Changing background color for table cells

[Carlos]

Anybody knows how can this be achieve in TW5?  The old "bgcolor(#000000):" doesn't seem to work anymore

Thanks!
Carlos

Did you check David's TW5 Mall? He has plenty of information about styling tables.

[David Gifford]

My mall does offer some tips, Carlos, for example hacking the th in your stylesheet and using it to style an individual cell, but no, you can't style individual cells freely in TW5 as you can in TWC.

Thank you.  will have a look at David's Mall.

I know it is an old thread, but it might come in handy to whoever is passing by.

What you can do is write some html code inside a cell :

| Cell1 | Cell2 |
| <div class="pink">Cell3</div> | Cell4 |

Hi Carlos, David, Erwan,

Here is an example showing how to compensate for the cell padding...

http://tb5.tiddlyspot.com/#Formatting%20Table%20Cells

|!head|!row|
|<div class="cell pink">pink</div>|plain|

renders as:

head	row
pink	plain

the css

.cell{
/* compensating the cell padding */
margin:-1px -7px;
padding:1px 7px;
}

.pink{
background-color:#fef;
}

Best wishes, Tobias.
