Hi amuroamuro,

Connectivity will simply output some HTML and you have full control over it to style with CSS, this is of course if your CSS is loaded correctly in your template or through a CSS file reference in the connection header maybe, if your CSS is loaded correctly and it doesn't work then this is a CSS issue, maybe you can post me see a link for the page here to look at but I can't promise a solution because I'm not the best in CSS.

Cheers

Maybe I put the css code in wrong input or wrong format.
Currently I put it in connection management --> General --> body ..like as below format.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
..... css code
-->
</style>

<table>
....
</table>


Please be corrected me if I mis something.

Hi amuroamuro,

That should be OK but you'll need to use a tool like FireBug to look at the css that's being applied to the table and find out where it is. It's quite possible that your css is being over-ridden by more specific css in another style-sheet. In particular css inside tables probably needs to have 'table.class' and not just 'class' in the selector.

and its better to have the css at the header and not the body box or are you making more than 1 table row per database row ?

Hi Max & Bob. After I try to edit css in another style found that is the css issue, I will go on to try it.
Thank for both your advice.😀

I'm a young college student trying to make it as a web developer, but unfortunatly I don't have the certain resources to test my websites for compatibility. What I meant by resources is something like a nice laptop to boot up different operating systems such as Windows; I'am only running linux on this sytem by the way. Furthermore, I just built a website for an organization and I'am having a hardtime figuring out the cause of this css bug. In this website, I have coded a horizontal menu in css, but when the website is viewed in IE5-IE6 on windows, it's a vertical one instead; for the record, I only have acess to these older browsers at school, so that's where I tested the website. Is there a reliable website I can go to have someone look at it and explain what the problem is? I have tried forums in websites such as cssdrive.com, but I havn't got any response in months. I would appreciate any input you give. Thanks

Hi gangotri,

I understand how the situation is hard for you but you need a windows machine, what if a new problem occurred ? almost 90% of the users will use windows so you must have the same system to be able to test what they see!
