Override Default table settings

Hi,

I have defined the table settings in the template - works great. But if I add a table through the editor, I cant seem to be able to override the template's table background settings. So in this case, the first row is grey. When I add a "hidden" table, then I would rather not see the grey box. Is there a way to override it?
Adding a style to the table through the editor seems to have no effect.

thanks

Could you please specify what editor do you use?

I also looked at the styles being applied to the table from the editor side and there are none. I tried the various global editor options - cleared the cache - all with the same results.

any idea would be great!

thanks

I actually tried a few : JCE, ARKEditor, Tiny MCE - all with the same results. Anything outside of the table looks fine. Just the values inside the table have the background set. The funny thing too, is that I can not see the css being applied using the developer tools. I also looked at the styles being applied to the table from the editor side and there are none.

Hello,
if you added HTML table like this one

    <p>Sample table</p>
    <table>
    <tbody>
    <tr><th>Month</th><th>Savings</th></tr>
    <tr>
    <td>January</td>
    <td>$100</td>
    </tr>
...

And there's no custom CSS classes for the used tags like <table>, <tr>, <th>, <td>, then the settings specified under Styles >> Table in Themler

should be applied.
If you cannot make it working it'd be helpful if you provide access to Joomla admin back end and note which page demonstrates the issue.

regards,
Aileen
