how do you apply cell styling during echoing php code?

[dbradbury]

i want to border a cell that i am echoing...

 

do you understand that? lol

 

[litebearer]

some psuedo code...

 

<?
some php stuff
?>
<td use css styling here><?PHP echo your content; ?></td>
<?PHP
more php stuff
?>

[dbradbury]

will that work in a while loop?

[litebearer]

yes

 

[dbradbury]

its not working for me :s

 

		echo '<tr><td class="tsubject"><u><b>'.$row['post_subject'].'</b></u></td>
        <td align="right" class="tposted">Posted: </td><td class="tdate"><i>'.$date.'</i></td></tr>
        <tr align="center"><td colspan="3" class="tinfo" style="padding-left:30px">'.nl2br($row['post_text']).'</td></tr>';		

 

with styles:

.tsubject{
text-decoration:underline;
border-left:thin #FFFFFF;
border-top:thin #FFFFFF;
}
.tposted{
border-top:thin #FFF;
border-left:thin #FFF;
border-bottom:thin #FFF;
}
.tdate{
border-top:thin #FFF;
border-right:thin #FFF;
border-bottom:thin #FFF;
}
.tinfo{
border-right:thin #FFFFFF;
border-left:thin #FFFFFF;
border-bottom:thin #FFFFFF;
}

 

tried your way also using same styles..:

  <tr>
    <td align="left" class="tsubject"><u><b><? echo $row['post_subject'] ?></b></u></td>
    <td align="right" class="tposted">Posted:</td>
    <td align="left" class="tdate"><i><? echo $date ?></i></td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="center">
    <td colspan="3" align="left" class="tinfo" style="padding-left:30px"><? echo nl2br($row['post_text']) ?></td>
  </tr><?

 

there is something im doing wrong, and i cant see it lol

What color is your table/page background?

 

Is the CSS style a linked file, or in the header?

 

[dbradbury]

its a blue colour

[dbradbury]

okay nothing will work, its either gotta be my style sheet or my template..

[litebearer]

try this...

<TABLE>

<TR>

<TD foo</TD>

<TD>bar</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>foo</TD>

<TD style="border: 1px solid blue">bar</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

[dbradbury]

try this...

<TABLE>

<TR>

<TD foo</TD>

<TD>bar</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>foo</TD>

<TD style="border: 1px solid blue">bar</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

 

okay that actually did something...
