Adding new table styles

You add new styles by adding new classes to the style sheet file. Each class must have a unique and descriptive name, since the class name is exposed to end-users as the name of the table style.

You add formatting for the style by defining CSS properties for the class. The properties should be within brackets, see Example 1 below.

Example 1

A class with color and width properties within brackets

.divisionGreenRecordTable{

color:#228b22;

width:300pt;

}

 

 

Do not set style formatting directly on table elements since that affects all tables in the application. End of warning.

Prerequisites

Before updating the content.css file, you should back up the file.

To add a new table style

1	Open the content.css style sheet file in a text editor. The file is located in:

<Portal root>\<Name>_adhoc\css

For example, for Apache Tomcat:

<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\<Name>_adhoc\css

2	Add your classes. See Example – Adding new table styles.

3	Save the style sheet file.

To see the new table style in Ad Hoc Correspondence, you must restart the web browser and open an Ad Hoc document. In the document, you can create a table with the new table style. Since the text editor does not always display the correct formatting, you must close the editor and preview the table in the Ad Hoc document.
