Drawback is colgroup is only supported by IE and limited to width, border, background and visibility styles. (I know the original poster was designing for IE, but still...)
I think Eric Meyer had the right idea. I wouldn't advise using adjacent sibling selectors. It's not very efficient. Ideally, colgroup will be better supported in the future because it would be invaluable for implementing online financials for corporations in a quarterly statement, for example. --dk On Thu, 10 Nov 2005, Steve Clay wrote: > Have you tried it? > http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=StylingColumns (Combination method) > > <table id="cities"> > <colgroup> > <col class="city"> > <col class="population"> > </colgroup> > ... > </table> > > #cities td:first-child + td { > /* styles */ > } > #cities .population { > /* styles */ > } ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
