I have a HTML table which is using an external stylesheet. The rows are sorted when the user clicks on the heading of the table. The problem is that after the rows are sorted the the style sheet does not show its effect and the page is displayed normally.
i ma doing
var oldDsply = tblEl.style.display;
in the beginning of the javascipt function which sorts
and the following in the end of the function.
tblEl.style.display = oldDsply;
But it doesn't work.
Please help

It doesn't work for the following class which is in the external style sheet.
.fontColor{
color: #003366;
font-family: Times;
font-size: 14;
}
I am using this class in the html page as follows
<font class=fontColor>text</font
But this class does not display its effect after the rows are sorted. All other classes work fine.
sort the rows and document.write them to the page. but instead of writing <font class=fontColor>text</font
function setFontColor()
{
var counter = 0;
while(document.getElementB
{
document.getElementById("f
counter++;
}
}
I believe this will work, let me know if it does not or if you see something wrong with my code. It is untested at time of posting :)
Using CSS for font tags is rather counterproductive, since the whole point of CSS is to *get rid* of things like font tags.
If you want to apply a style class to the text of a table cell, then use
<td class="fontColor">some text...</td>
If you want it to apply to all text in the table, then use
<table class="fontColor">
...
</table>
and define your style class like so:
table.fontColor td {...}
> sort the rows and document.write them to the page
My guess is that this isn't what's happening, since using document.write()s within the page after it's loaded would clear it. I know that the way I'd do this would be to use DOM element removal/insertion/etc. methods on the table rows. If this is what's being done, then chances are that what's happening is that the font tags aren't being re-created. Which is good, as they shouldn't bloody well be there in the first place. :)
If this doesn't help, then please post the table and script code or a link to them so we can see what's actually going on here.

The display property has nothing to do with colours or style sheets apply to an element or anything like that. It controls what sort of box the element generates -- whether it's inline, block, etc.

to be more specific
It is not working for only this class which I have in the external style sheet
.fontColor{
color: #003366;
font-family: Times;
font-size: 14;
}
For other classes it is working fine.
