Thanks ag2simal that worked. But like you, I liked it better with the dividing lines. But I didnt want them to appear as dark or the same color as the section header so I added a new style to the table.
also by moving the css attributes to a template file takes away the ability to change attributes right with the forme, So I opted to leave it there. the only thing is you can not set a height for the fielddesc or the background color will be picked up by the div tag. and over each id.
heres the new style.
<style type=\"text/css\">
<!--
.fielddescclass {
font-size: 14px;
color: #FFFFFF;
background: #333333;
text-decoration: none;
}
.fieldtitleclass {
font-size: 14px;
color:#0099CC
}
.fieldvaliclass {
color: #FF0000;
}
.line {
border-bottom: thin #c0c0c0 solid;
}
-->
</style>
<table class=\"line\" width=\"100%\">
<tr>
<td colspan=\"4\" ><div class=\"fielddescclass\" align=\"center\">{fielddesc}</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=\"10%\" height=\"27\"> </td>
<td width=\"40%\"><div align=\"center\"><span class=\"fieldtitleclass\">{fieldtitle}</span></div></td>
<td width=\"5%\"><div align=\"right\"><span class=\"fieldvaliclass\">{validationsign}</span></div></td>
<td width=\"45%\"><span class=\"fieldclass\">{field}</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
I havent done anything with the padding yet but the % can be changed easily to create the effect needed.
Thanks again for the help.<br><br>Post edited by: oleman, at: 2007/05/19 04:16
