Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - [asp.net/CSS] Override generated tables' style attributes?

Stompy · 05-22-2004, 01:38 PM

If you slap a DataGrid on an asp.net page and leave the settings as default, it generates the table code with along with the following attributes:

cellspacing=0 border=1 rules="all" style="border-collapse:collapse;"

...and that sucks because hard coded HTML overrides any CSS you may have for that particular element. Any style I apply to it regarding border and border-spacing is just flat out ignored.

My questions are:

1. Is there a way to prevent asp.net from tossing whatever garbage it wants into the table tags? I just want a pure clean tag with the corresponding id/class: <table id="myDataGrid" class="MainReport">

If not...

2. Is there a way to make sure that CSS overrides all?
