How to apply color to the table row rather then each cells

**tony007** · May 22nd, 2006, 02:10 PM

Hi i want to use single <tr style="background: #FFB951;"> at start of html block for the following blocks of code but i do not know how to modify it so it does not disable the hyperlinks .In another word i want the color is applied to the table row rather than every individual cell.
Also i want to remove the underline for hyperlink.I be happy if some one help thanks

just like this :

PHP Code:


<tr>

        <td width="5%" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><? echo $numbers; ?>&nbsp;</td>

        <td width="35%" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><a

        href="albums.php?albumname=<?=strval( $row['artist'] );?>"><b><?=strval( $row['artist'] );?></b>

        &nbsp;</a> </td>

        <td width="10%" bgcolor="#C0C0C0">467&nbsp;</td>

</tr>

second html

PHP Code:


<tr>

        <td bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><? echo $numbers; ?>&nbsp;</td>

        <td bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><a

        href="./albumsongs.php?albumname=<?=strval( $row['album'] );?>&artistname=<?=strval( $row['artist'] );?>"><?=strval( $row['album'] );?></a>&nbsp;</td>

        <td bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><a

        href="albums.php?albumname=<?=strval( $row['artist'] );?>"><?=strval( $row['artist'] );?></a> </td>

        <td bgcolor="#C0C0C0">276&nbsp;</td>

    </tr>

Use CSS - this is a lot easier than applying the colors in the HTML and it also keeps the visual formatting separate from the data:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
  #mytable {
    width: 50%;
  }

  #mytable td {
    background-color: #C0C0C0;
  }

  #mytable .col1 {
    width: 10%;
  }

  #mytable .col2 {
    width: 70%;
  }

  #mytable .col3 {
    width: 20%;
  }
</style>
</head>
<body>
  <table id="mytable">
<tr>
        <td class="col1"><? echo $numbers; ?>&nbsp;</td>
        <td class="col2"><a
        href="albums.php?albumname=<?=strval( $row['artist'] );?>"><b><?=strval( $row['artist'] );?></b>
        &nbsp;</a> </td>
        <td class="col3">467&nbsp;</td>
</tr> 
  </table>
</body>
</html>
