ASP table background color

[mcolson]

I have a table1 within a table2 within a form. I would like to
progamatically change the color of table1 in my aspx.vb code based on
conditions. How do I connect to the table's properties?

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>

<table class="style1">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="style1">
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #009900">
<<----- I neeed to change this.
&nbsp;</td>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
<td>
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>
</form>

You can add the attributes runat="server" id="MyCell", and then address
the cell from the server side, setting the BgColor property. Your code
then would be MyCell.BgColor=Color.Red, as an example.

Out of curiosity, why are you using HTML tables rather than asp.net tables?

That may be a good question. I've been tasked with building simple
page, but this is my first asp.net. Kind of learning as I go. I'll
look into the asp.net table.

Thanks.
