Forum:Table Column color and 90 degree text

I'm working with a table here and am trying to:
 * get 90 degree text to work, I added a class to the Common.css, but the text is still spaced as if it were still horizontal.
 * and find a way to change the background color of just a column.

 * I've looked at your table, the cells where you wanted the text to be rotated (i.e. the cells with "class=Rotate90" seem to be working. This probably was just a caching issue. For the second issue, I don't know of a solution to change the background colour of just one column on wikis. I know of a  tag that changes attributes for an entire column, but I'm fairly sure it doesn't work on Wikia (at least if you are utilising wikitext tables).

 * Look at this template used in my Navbox documentation imported from wikipedia Here that has coloured columns / cells. if thats the effect your after, have a look at the underling code used to create the table (I've not studied it in detail just re used it here on wikia, so no idea on the code required) - BulldozerD11 14:20, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is formatting by cell using templates - I suggested this in a similar thread. Basically, you can create a couple of templates with style defined e.g.  and just subst or transclude it every time you want a cell to appear the same way as is defined in the template.

 * OK, I was able to force the column width, I also had to force the height to 90 otherwise the header names floated over the top of the table, alignment is still screwy though.
 * I was able to do colored columns with a template, though it doesn't appear that  are working for some reason.

That would be because "border-bottom" and "border-right" are CSS selectors, not HTML. ;) Just replace with .  The 888th Avatar   (talk)  00:47, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
