Filling a table with a blend of colours

[Guest]

How can I fill a table with a blend of green to white (green starting on the
left and ending with white on the right)

TIA

Apply a background image (not supported by NN4x) or cell background image (supported by NN4x)

NN4 supports background images. Strangely. But it is doable.

Make a graphic with your gradient change from left to right that is however
wide you want and about 50px tall. Specify it as a background image to the
table, and use CSS to prevent it from tiling horizontally, e.g., in the head
of the document, do this -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
table.yourtable { background-image:url(yourimage.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-y;}
-->
</style>

and then in your table, do this -

<table class="yourtable"....>

To do this entirely in FP's UI, you would use FORMAT | Styles > List:
User-defined styles > New
Then enter "table.yourtable" in the Name (selector) field, and click on
Format > Border > Shading (!)
On this tab, you will have an option to specify your background image and
its repeat characteristics.

I surmise Stefan was speaking of table background images, which are not
support in NN4.

I surmised that, too.

Yes, table background images are supported in NN4x, but they are inherited
strangely into the cells. You can fix this by giving each cell a
transparent GIF as.a background image.

Thanks Murray - will give it a go!
