Overriding Default Table CSS

raisintoast · December 2019

Hello,

I have a table and I wanted to make some of the cells have a different colour background (i.e. yellow). The grey cells don't change to yellow, but the white ones do. Is there a way I can override this so some of the grey cells can change to yellow.

I want to change the 21 x 30 cm cell to have a yellow background but the <td bgcolor="#ffda1a"></td> CSS doesn't work.

Thanks,

Jen

Hello Jen,

Can you send me a link to that page? I have to inspect it.

I attached the bgcolor property and it works:

Can you test it once more?

Also, test it with all of the plugins disabled.

Thanks

Hi Pablo,

It works for the white cells but not the grey ones

Hey,

try this css

table tr:nth-child(2n):not(:hover) td{
  background:unset;
}

Hi Bryan,

That didn't work. I've just made the text coloured and bold instead, having the background doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Thanks

I changed the CSS code that Bryan sent, it should be good now.

But, to set the color of single element, please use the CSS code as on the screenshot:

It looks like the order of deprecated html elements are having lower order than external css code.

Thanks

Okay thanks, I will give it a go. Thank for that!
