<div>
since TR cannot contain text, you can't use the color style there. try these things:<br />
<br />
&lt;tr onMouseOver etc....&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align:top;<wbr /> color: red;&quot;&gt;Joe Bloggs&lt;/td&gt;...&lt;/tr&gt;<br />

</div>


<div>
or, better, stay away from inline styles altogether:<br />
<br />
&lt;table id=&quot;myTable&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &lt;tr onMouseOver.....&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;td&gt;Joe Bloggs&lt;/td&gt;<br />
.....<br />
&nbsp; &lt;/tr&gt;<br />
....<br />
&lt;/table&gt;<br />
<br />
&lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; table#myTable td { vertical-align:top; color:red; }<br />
&lt;/style&gt;
</div>


<div>
There are more cells in the table row, and I want the whole row to have red text with minimal style code. But not every row is to have red text. If I use a style sheet, will I need to (say) specify a css class for each cell in the rows that need red text?
</div>


<div>
You could apply a class to each row instead of each cell.

Just what I needed - thanks so much for the quick response!

I have the following style set up to make the font color red for the row, but it's not changing the color - any ideas why not?<br />

Style to set color for table row

I have the following style set up to make the font color red for the row, but it&#39;s not changing the color - any ideas why not?

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
