Am I confused ot shouldn't I be able to say something like this:


<div bgcolor="#CCCCFF">
....
</div>


And have that section of my page/table be a light blue background?

Tried it inside the HTML as well as in a style sheet, and nothing.

Thanks ahead

I meant to say that if the DIV is inside a table it won't work....if it's
outside the table, then it does...Surely there must be a way to use div to
change just a piece or portion of a table?

No. You can use div inside a table cell or outside the whole table. If
you want to apply styles to portions of the table, use CSS selectors.

This kind of thing:

<table>
<div>
<tr>

is invalid (and not in a way you get away with).

But how about within a part of a table? Like spanning multiple rows and or
cells, while keeping the rest of the table alone. Is that possible? Cause
I can't do that. I can move the DIV tags to the front and end of the table
and get the entire table, but not pieces.

Please tell me it's possible.

Thanks regardless...
