I am trying to make my product data look the same and I believe this should be done by css, but I only have experience of editing stylesheet.css to alter colours etc, not actually referncing it.

The following pages of tables from my site were entered and editted usig fceditor, but I want all the data tables on my pages to look like this centred one:

Immune Systems Ltd : Bovine Casein ELISA Kit [E-10CAS] - £266.13

instead of this left hand aligned table:

Immune Systems Ltd : Bovine Haptoglobin ELISA Kit [E-10HPT] - £266.13
I realise I can do this by referencing stylesheets, but can anyone walk me through (i) what I need to put in the stylesheet.css to apply a centred table, and (ii) what code/reference I need to put in the source code of the fceditor to tell it to apply the class from the stylesheet.css

There are a host of other styles I want to apply, but I figure I can add other styles later once I am shown the basics.

Thanks for any help.

And after you're done there, try to get on path to convert your tables to divs unless they need to be tables (such as with tabular data). Other than that controlling blocks of space should be div centric. using styles="" is excellent for CSS and using ID="" is excellent for running javascript/jquery/ajax actions.

One of my favorite web sites I recommend to anyone is
A List Apart

They're CSS articles are golden.

OK, had a look, added a stylesheet (datatable.css) with formating that is specific for my data tables, but whenever I add

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="datatable.css" /> at the top of my product data in source mode in the FCKeditor, then look at source mode again this line has gone. What is the syntax for referencing an external stylesheet in the editor?

Cheers.

You cannot add that in FCKeditor, it must be added in your template's <head> section. The best way to do this is to simply add your new styles into your template's main stlyesheet.css, just use comments to describe the custom block for easy reference later.

Thanks Michael. I will try this later.

Great. Got some of this to work but it seams CSS cant be used to format column text (ie to get ALL of column 1 in bold) from the table class.

Cheers.

Code:

<span class="column1">.....</span>
