GridView Edit Template Control Style

[Morris Neuman]

Hi,
I have a gridview and have set the font size to 8pt and forecolor to navy.

When I set the editrowstyle to different values it works for labels in edit
template mode, but not for textboxes, dropdownlist or other controls. Do I
have to set the style for each control individually? I only want the
different style to affect the controls in edit template mode.

Hi Morris,

To do this you can set CssClass for the EditRowStyle.

CSS:

<style type="text/css">
.test input{ background-color:Red;}
.test select { background-color:Green;}
</style>


aspx:

<asp:GridView ...
<EditRowStyle CssClass="test" />
...

ASP.NET TextBox control renders <input> to the client side. ASP.NET
DropDownList control renders <select> to the client side. So the above
styles will apply to the elements rendered by them. You can view source of
the page to see what HTML tags are rendered by ASP.NET controls to see how
to set correct CSS for them.

Please have a try and let me know if it works.

Hi Morris,

To use CSS on your page you have two options in general.

" Inline style sheet:
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_background-color

" External style sheet:

You can learn CSS from:
