style won't apply to tr

[futureknight]

I've created a css for a tr so I can apply the background I want to certain rows. I did by the tr because not every row will be this color.

Anyway, the table is one column, and I'm finding that when I try to apply to the style to the <tr>, the class code is being placed in the <td>. Of course, this doesn't work as the style is for a tr. If I copy this class code into the right place from code view, it works.

Unfortunately, I'm thinking ahead to novice users. The who purpose of having the styles dropdown menu is so they can do it from design view.

Anyone have any ideas why the style appears in the td instead of the tr (and I'm 100% I've got the tr active) when I'm doing it.

thanks.

Hi I am assuming you are using Dreamweaver, correct?

Well, as you are using a single column table the need to apply the style to the whole row of columns becomes redundant as there is only one cell. Makes for more concise coding IMO.
