ASP.NET Datagrid Item Backcolor in Firefox

Hello Experts,

I'm having a weird issue with my transparent-background datagrid when viewed in firefox. Looks great everywhere else, but in firefox, the background of each item appears blue when it should be transparent. I have tried setting the value to nothing and "Transparent" in VS.net, but no luck. Anyone have a solution for this? I'm thinking if there's no workaround I may need to scrap the transparent background idea. I personnaly don't give a damn about firefox, but unfortunately the client does. Thanks.

Most "Standards compliant browser" yet it doesn't render content the same as every other browser including netscape. Here' s a little code snippet, not closing anywhere particular, but starting with the declaration code which causes my blue background...I think based on what you said, i'll write some CSS and apply it to this control, tell me what you discover based on this :

<table>
                                                            <tr>
                                                                  <td style="HEIGHT: 16px" colSpan="2">
                                                                        <p style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: x-small; COLOR: #735f3e">Sample Project</p>
                                                                  </td>
                                                            </tr>

Well, no one was able to answer my question. I'll give the points to pmsyyz just b/c his comment sparked my initiative to define these properties via CSS. To anyone else that has this problem in the future, just clear the attributes in the property inspector (in VS.net) and define a CSS class to set the background properties of datagrid items.
