[SOLVED] colour coded tables

[otuatail]

I am trying to create a colour coded table newsboard similar to these with pinnable at the top. I cant get the background colur to change but the font is changing ok.

 

<tr id="des">  // works for the font but not the background

 

The CSS is this

 

#des
{
    FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
    FONT-SIZE: 16pt;
    COLOR: Orange;
    FONT-FAMILY: 'Monotype Corsiva';
    bgcolor="#ffffcc";
}

 

The font changes to orange only.  Desmond.

tr#des td

    FONT-WEIGHT: bold;

    FONT-SIZE: 16pt;

    COLOR: Orange;

    FONT-FAMILY: 'Monotype Corsiva';

    bgcolor="#ffffcc";

}

oh my bad didn't notice it...

 

bgcolor is NOT a valid css attribute...

 

tr#des td

{

    FONT-WEIGHT: bold;

    FONT-SIZE: 16pt;

    COLOR: Orange;

    FONT-FAMILY: "Monotype Corsiva";

    background= #ffffcc;

}

 

you could even use the short cut hex code #ffc;

 

you don't need quotes arount css values UNLESS its a fint name with a space in it.
