Text and background colour in a scrolling table
I want to have the top row in a table as the header row. I want the row to be dark red (128,0,0) with white bold text. I have set the text foregroundcolor and backgroundcolor of line 1 BUT the background color only shows behind the text - ie it doesn't color across the whole row. I can color the whole table and have white heading but not just row 1. Can't believe there isn't a solution!!
Hi Glenn
I can think of one solution although I'm sure there might be others...
Set up the table as transparent and put a coloured graphic behind (or temporarily colour the whole thing with your correct heading and type colours), then take a screen grab of it. Edit it in Photoshop so that you have your heading only. Import this and position it exactly on top where it should go. This way, your users can't edit the heading; and the heading will remain fixed of course, even if the table is scrolled, which is what you need, I guess.
Hope that of some help there.

You should have a look on this thread:

we talked about the same idea, with 2 solutions :
-small fields behind the table field
-small graphics in HTMT within the table field

Just the header colour
That all made interesting reading. Thanks guys. I'm currently using header fields that are separate to the table field and this works just fine - especially as they remain there when you scroll down - but cause an issue when you need to scroll sideways.
What would be best in actual fact would be to have two table fields - one as the header without scroll bars and one line deep and the other as the main table. Does anyone know the code for getting the top field to scroll sideways at the same time as the main table. This would solve my problem.
