Solved: Changing a cells color in Dreamweaver

DaveSS · 16-Jul-2008, 11:22 AM #1

Hi,

Am using Dreamweaver, and serious beginner on this side of things

I have a page with a plain back ground.

I have a table with three rows.

I would like to be able to change the background color in one of these rows/cells but am unable.

I followed a video tutorial and the options should be there in Table properties but only font properties shows up?

Any ideas?

I would imagine you should be able to change the background color of a cell. Unfortunately, I'm not a DreamWeaver user so I can't tell you how to do it in DreamWeaver.

Here is a HTML example:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 http-equiv="content-type">
  <title></title>
</head>
<body style="color: white; background-color: black;"
 alink="#000099" link="#000099" vlink="#990099">
<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1"
 cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td style="background-color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"></td>
      <td></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Peace...

Thanks. But my website skills are pure design view, too many hours on photoshop.
Tried with the code in various segments in the cell etc, but failed.

Personally I don't get it. Should be relatively easy? Anybody

Solved. There was a tiny drop down arrow on the far right of the properties box that when clicked makes a new bunch of options appear. Very annoying!! Two days thinking DW was harder than it is.

When webdesign moves out of the code and into the GUI the better. Then again I have been saying that for ten years!! lol

Glad you got it sorted out.

Peace...
