Hi everybody,
I want to get rid of all the attributes that are being entered into the table tag of a datagrid control so that i am left with:

Code:

<table class="address">

Also how do i make the headings use the <th> tag

my aim is to have source that looks like:

Code:

<table class="address">
    <tr>
        <th>heading</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>table data</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Cheers folks

I'm afriad there is only so much you can do. The grid will use standard TD tags for the header row. You could provide a class for the header cells so that they can be differenciated from the regular rows for styling purposes. I have found it difficult to get rid of all the attributes, but you should be able to change them to acceptable values within the datagrid properties such that you can apply CSS styles to them.

Cheers for the info, i was afraid that would be the answer. its a bit odd they have decided to do that considering the whole accessibility thing, but there you go. Ive had a read of the sdk reference and realised that the class could be set by adding the attribute CssClass="address" to the correct tag.

Thanks Andy
